Well, the chickens are living harmoniously together. At least this is what we are observing when we are outside in the yard with them. The "ousted" one still lays alone, but otherwise she is out and about with the rest of them.
Spring has sprung and they spend their days eating the green grass peeking through winter's dead blades and sunning themselves on our deck. This means lots of chicken poop to wash off, which I dislike, but witness them sunning themselves is quite enjoyable.
We are currently getting 7 eggs a day, which is hard to keep up with, so we give some away and the kids are concocting a plan to start a homegrown egg business at the end of our driveway.

Just a quick update
Well, Henrietta, aka. "Meanie" is still with us. She seems to be very comfortable with her loner status and if given the chance would become another Carlson house pet. She is very content wandering around our yard, nibbling goodies from the vegetable garden and taking her daily dust baths. No complaints from us really, except that it would be nice to have more than 1 egg a day and I really wish she didn't poop everywhere. She is a chicken and we are not on a farm, so I guess I have to get used to chicken poop in places.
