My Orps are like 2-1/2 months old.
I shot a quick video to show some friends how they were going for the grapes after ignoring grapes as food at all for the first few weeks.
I'd thought a few times prior to this that maybe the splash orp limped, but then I'd watch her and couldnt see...
And I thought I shared them ... but I snapped up a couple of orp pullets from Renie cuz I totallllllly fell in love with them and they ought to be heading my way soon ...
Here they are at 4 weeks (I saw her post for the splash and black orp pair and then found her FB page and liked it so saw...

So my little chicken youngster seems to have an impacted crop. It started doing this odd neck movement last night - the other half said he thought it was trying to crow and I admit it has that look to it ... but my first thought was like it was trying to cough up a hairball or vomit. It had that...
