MJ's little flock

I have a friend that swears by yoga. I hope it works for you.
There is a program, often advertised/ shown on PBS that an adaptive yoga for people that have mobility issues of whatever kind. I am sure there are similar things on YouTube. I found it helpful to see ideas of ways to change poses to fit my needs.

That's really interesting. I always try to exercise but feel safer on or near my bed.

I found one physiotherapy exercise on YouTube which I do most mornings . It really pulls on my spine in a good way. :)

My guess is that like Lilly, she is crowing. Possibly to claim this is her land in response to their crowing. I'd love video but I personally know how hard it is to capture.

Your reasons are certainly imaginative. I think more observation is in order.
This morning one of her shout outs got me hustling out of bed because I knew she was up off the nest and I wanted to unlock The little coop so she could stretch her legs properly and have a bath.

She was eating some last night's leftover mash which I'd left in there with her in case she felt a little peckish. So she's eaten. That's good.

She came down the ramp ok but then I stuffed up by putting her friends in the run with her. Of course Peggy was excessively aggressive towards Mary.

So I let Mary out to free range. This is what she did.

She got up after a while a moved over a few metres so she could sit in the sand. No photo of that interlude.

Now she's moved again and is sitting by the green planters.

When she moves her legs are extremely stiff. That's not ok. Her joints are clearly not up to the stress of brooding.

So I'm going to put her up on the roost tonight. Poor old girl. I can't have her slowly limping around. Peggy would have a field day.

For now, I'll put some food and water down near her and if she goes into a trance again, I'll place her back on the nest where she can sit for the rest of the day.
