    Urgent help-floppy neck!!!! Please advise

    Woke up this morning to find my healthiest, friendliest buff orp lying on the floor of the run. Her head is all floppy, she can barely raise it. Her body is floppy too. Her feet are curled in. She coos when I pick her up very quietly. I isolated her, gave her some water with apple cider...

    Roofing materials for coop and run?

    Well, I really want to finish the trim before I take shots, so hopefully that will happen this weekend ;) I am going to call it the Backwards Coop because we built the very secure run FIRST and then we "inserted" the coop using the existing walls of the run. That way, even if the girls are "out"...

    Roofing materials for coop and run?

    Thank you! I just realized I hadn't checked this thread in a while LOL. Anyway, we finished the coop and run, and ended up using the tuftex which is drilled in, and seems very secure. They're in the shade so the run stays reasonably cool, too. Thanks! I will post photos soon.

    Just picked up a light brahma about 1 week old, a black astralorp about 2 days old and a BEAUTIFUL blue orp about 8 weeks old. I was only supposed to get two..but man, they are so cute. The blue orp is SO ladylike. I just hope my existing girls are nice to her. I kept her in the dog crate inside...

    9week old orp hen pecks me when I hold any chick other than her! What do I do?

    I could, but i really want her to learn that she can't always be the one I am giving pets to. Or am I asking too much? LOL

    9week old orp hen pecks me when I hold any chick other than her! What do I do?

    Anytme i try and pet any chick other than her, she comes up and either pecks the hen i am holding or pecks me! She is only content when I put the other girl down and pick her up. Ideas? Can this behavior be stopped?
