Thank you, that is all.
 
They feel loss too. When BeeBees died, her sister "Sunshine" was frantic, looking everywhere for her. It was a tough week for our flock, and me. Three weeks ago.
I've seen the same thing with unexpected loss. Daisy was different. The flock knew Daisy was going to pass and her besty Pasty lay with her as she did. The flock was subdued for quite a while after she was gone.
 
Windy Day

To say today was a windy day would be to undersell it. For me the strangest thing was how the wind sucked the skimmer lid off of my pool. This video shows the wind picking it up little by little. It is a flat piece of plastic with a hole in the middle that is flush with the ground. Just crazy.


A few minutes later, this is what I had.

Because it was so windy, did the ladies stay in today? Of course not. That warm wind free coop was not where they wanted to be. Instead they huddled next to the house all day.

They came to the back door at one point and I watched poor Phyllis almost get blown into the pool. I watched a song bird try to land on my bird feeder and get blown backwards. :eek:

Because it is so windy, I could not feed them mealy worms outside as they simply blew away. So we adjusted and they came in for their afternoon snack. Check out the fence flexing in the background as much as 6 inches as the wind pounds it.
