Raise it up on blocks/cement or something like that. Then you can work from below.

You forgot the part about the guys from "Magic Mike".

Heather, that really is one mean roo imitation. You may be recruited as a crowing instructor. Kind of like a voice coach, except, instead of training crooners, you train crowers!
Is crowers even a word?

When there are no hens, as I understand it...... roosters haven't anything to protect/fight for so they kinda co-exist.

Did you know that youir little one looks just like a silver sebright?They have no standard size for them as they are true bantams.
I had a golden and they are adorable, friendly and surprisingly adaptable. Mine even crowed! Her name is Peanut. She is the same size of my Congo grey parrot.

I finally got my coop. Now I have to figure out how to put the legs on it!

That's a nice coop and run setup. Are you sure it didn't come with legs somewhere inside the coop to be attached, and some instructions? Give the company a call on what they suggest to do.

OOOH PRETTY!!!!   Maybe put it on it's side, then put the legs on, then have some big strong guys from the movie, "Magic Mike" lift it upright?   (Just a suggestion) 

That looks SO nice!!!

Haha. Unfortunately the big sting guys will be my brother & his sons.

My chickens ate all the blueberries off the bottom of my dads blueberry
bushes then went up on our back deck and pooped blue all over it. Icky.
Now we can't pick the berries without being harassed by chickens. They
think the bushes are theirs. Of corse mom shares half of what she picks
with them. They are so spoiled.

OK! So, I went to the Doctor, my doctor was off, so it was an "Associate". I've never met her, but she's nice, I guess.  It seems she feels it was either Heat Stroke, or a neurological event, either way she wanted to know why the heck I wasn't taken to the ER. Um, I dunno, my husband and I wanted to see Zebra? I know I'm a dummy, and I do tend to minimize the severity of my own ailments, but she's like "Well, you could have died, so then what would you have seen?"  She took blood, which normally, I give tons, and bleed nicely-it was a slow drip. that's not good. I drink enough, and I'm dehydrated. 

So, I'm to stay indoors for the most part, rest (yeah, ok) and drink lots of fluids, preferably and non sweetened electrolyte drink (pedialyte-which I have the ice pops!) and just take it easy. (again, yeah right) I am going to give it my all, and she said by thursday or friday, if I still feel weird, to take myself to the ER, because with my insurance she can't order a neuro exam or test without the end of the world coming, the second coming of Christ, A letter from Saint Blase, or something similar. I have to avoid strenuous activity. Hmmmm...is cooking strenuous? This might work for me...

Here's what I'm looking for in order to make the ER trip: Recurring of original symptoms, headache, seizure, mental status change, syncope, and any focal weakness or extremity weakness. Due to a valve issue I have (not so bad-I still compete in races) she was pretty upset with me. My husband is going to verbally minimize it, then have nightmares tonight. 

Thank you all, my friends, for your concern. I certainly would not have gone to the doctor without your words of advice. 

Glad you did go see the doc. I had thought you might have had a TIA but didn't want to say it and worry you. I still wonder if it may have been neurological, though. Slurred speech and loss of peripheral vision could be signs. Don't want to scare you but keep an eye out for any symptoms and then get to the ER nd have the neuro tests done.

Hopefully it will not happen again and you only have to stay hydrated. Good luck, and feel better.

The legs are inside the coop. It's just way to heavy for me to move.
My brother & his sons are gonna help.

I'm so excited its finally here I ordered it 5 weeks ago.
Now I can move the young chickens out of my house.

I imagine it weighs a ton. Good you are getting help from you bro and nephews.

Post pics when it's done!. I really am curious as to the finished look of it.

It's very pretty, and I too want to see the final pics. Maybe you could borrow a hydraulic jack from someone that works on cars if it's super super heavy? Don't let your bro hurt his back lifting it!
