Since Sparkle hasn’t been a hundred percent she hasn’t been joining in flock activities such as dust bathing. I think that when I see her dust bath again I will know she is really feeling better. At the moment she does follow the sun and will sit in a patch of sun while the other girls are dust bathing.<\/p>\n
