Then there were three

Sad news- Emily died about a month ago, so now there are only three- Sam, Monique and Henrietta. We don't know what killed Emily and I just wasn't up to performing an autopsy. I suspect that Henrietta might have put a hex on her. But anyway, Henrietta is now back in the coop with Sam and Monique and all seems well- no more fights. At least not yet. Henrietta is laying again now that she's all recovered and the days are getting longer. Monique has decided not to lay any more, it seems. Mr. G says she should go in a stewpot. I think he says things like that just to aggravate me.
