Frank is gone. We expected "Major Chicken Trauma" and a halt in egg production. It took me awhile to coax the hens out of the barn Tuesday morning, but they finally went out for awhile. They still spent most of the day huddled together by the hay bales in the barn, but they laid eggs. By the time Gramma got home that day the other chickens were starting to try and mingle.
The new chickens started to come out of the paddock yesterday and the girls were still laying eggs. I also opened up the two coops making one large one Tuesday. I did this once before but had to close it back up again because of Frank. So this morning when I went down to do chores all the chickens were together in the smaller half. Yay. So Frank's departure seems to be a good thing not only for Gramma and I, but for the chickens also.
