Here they are, Senior Moves test. It is the highest moves (ie not the spinning and jumping stuff) test in ice skating. You have to pass the moves test before you can do the equivalent freestyle test. Don't think she'll be doing that one. She would have taken this test 8 years ago but her 24x7 migraine wouldn't allow her to do all the necessary practice. This stuff is WAY harder than it looks when it is done well.

The camera wasn't focusing well when I zoomed when she was at the far end of the rink. Try to ignore that part. I posted them as the 5 separate moves for shorter videos.

My favourite roo died

Oh no!

What happened?

 

[The Farmers' Daughter]

Oh no!

What happened?

He and my other chantecler roo got into a fight between a fence. He lost a spur. A couple of days later he started favouring his other leg. I couldn't find anything wrong with it. A few days after that he just lay down. I've had him isolated for 2 weeks now, giving him warm baths. He wouldn't eat or drink unless I hand fed him bread that I soaked in antibiotics (I was thinking that if the leg had some kind of infection I'd knock it out that way). I had already figured I'd have to cull him, he just beat me to it.

Ugh.
The bands are worse than the headgear. I'm sorry you'll have to go through that.
I think headgear is more for pushing your teeth back further than for moving them forward, which is what I'm assuming they're doing to improve your gap.

Not sure what they are doing. One tooth has to come back some which will help close the gap. He had my head spinning.

Oh no, what happened? Poor guy! Never mind, i read the answer.
My Coturnix roo that lost a big chunk of his breast amazed me with his healing ability! I sprayed disinfectant on his wound and put him in a small cage. Just fed and watered, used chick saver once. His wound is healing great and only about 1/3 the size it was. Scabbed over, and hidden by feathers. I put him back with the hens today, took out the other roo. He jumped right to work!

 

[The Farmers' Daughter]

I did get this from him last night though

 

[drumstick diva]

so sorry - hope the little chick will be just like him.
