    Vacation. What to do?

    New coop is 4W x 5L x 5H.. no attached run but i can move the run over before I leave. Just worried they'll try to get to their current coop to roost. If i let them out of the new coop Thought it'd be a good time to introduce them to the new coop lock them in so they know its home.

    is this Newcastle, Mareks, or weak legs? Help!

    She succumbed to the disease it happened fast. She lost mobility in legs completely. Believe it was the mareks. Hopefully my other is strong enough to beat it. She's yet to show any symptoms so I'm hopeful but we'll see they're still young.. thanks a bunch for your help.
