sorry to hear I know how it is to wonder what tomorrow's gonna bring. I've been down that road years ago with my father and at the time I was on the fire dept and responded to my own home twice to work a shortness of breath and a mild infarction.
Good to hear about your hens. Don't know about the pecking order but something musta happened lol
Wow responding to ones own home is tough.
Man it is windy I better go lock the hens up now vs latter.
