"But Why?"
She is not sick. The whole family have taken a liking to lying on the bit of bare ground in the corner where I am trying to get grass to grow. They spread themselves out like this, and will stay dead still for up to quarter of an hour, then get up and toddle off as right as rain.
Admittedly she does look a bit scruffy, but she has just finished rearing a bub or two, and is moulting.
