Give them time. They will need to adjust to life without her. You may be surprised how they adapt.Roosting is a little sad tonight without Elizabeth.
I think Elizabeth was the one that kept them together as a tribe. Everything was very calm today but they spent the whole day as two separate pairs.
Also, it turns out that four chickens is a lot less than five. It feels very empty in the Chicken Palace now.

I will remain neutral in this thought process. I don't want to be seen as an enabler.Yes and they seem fine. Honestly I was worried Diana would go all scary dictator on everyone and terrorize the Roadrunners even more than she does. But she hung out with Maggie and did chicken-things all day.
I was planning on getting some more chicks from the farm in the spring. I still think I will wait until the spring, but it crossed my mind maybe I should introduce some new chaos now.
What kind are you thinking of getting RC. I was thinking of buying some eggs next spring so maybe we could time the hatching to be approximately the same day.Yes and they seem fine.

I text this, while holding my Rocks-Anne chicken. She wanted some daddy and her time with me.
I am not really sure - I am not good at chicken breeds!
So beautiful!
