It's tough. I know Alex. :hugs:hugs

I still find myself looking for Lilly when I only count 4 hens outside, not to mention Sansa. And I have tried to block out Sylvie and Legertha completely like they never were. 😢 I never talk about them or even look at pictures of them.

These losses take time. One's like Patsy's seem easier to me. I was there for her like you were there for Rocks-Anne. I hope that helps but she will always be unforgettable to you.
You speak with truth and clarity! :old
 
I just went out and grabbed Siri for some pictures. I had to resort to wrapping her up in a towel to keep her still. This is what I'm dealing with with her beak.

Does it seem to hurt her? It looks like a bit of the quick is exposed, but not too much. If it doesn't seem to hurt her to gently touch it, I would just file (gently, and not too much) the bottom beak a little and let her be, but keep an eye on it (filing will help them line up a bit better until the top grows out). As long as she is doing okay eating and such....just watch and wait for it to grow back.

Also, chopped steak 🥩 is easier to chew. (Just saying?) :D
 
Break Time

I got some quality time with Phyllis today. I did not realize how much i missed her until she jumped up onto the deck when I was on break today. I was so excited to see her that the whole tribe got double snacks. I recorded it so you all could share in my joy.
