This chicken is not dead

I have to tell you all this sweet story.
I have mereks in my flock and I've lost a lot of chickens over the last 3 years. Its a closed flock now and I haven't allowed my hens to hatch anymore babies. I've also kept all my roosters.
Elmer, one of my bantam roosters, has been alone since his 3 brother died. He has a coop within the large coop seperated by a hardware cloth door and a seperate run all his own. A couple of days ago I didn't close his door well and Hattie, a cochin frizzle, went inside and laid an egg and stayed. They seem to be a happy couple. Elmer has been such a sweet gentleman with her. I think its love. ❤️
Here are Elmer and Hattie in their honeymoon run.
