Thanks again
Mrs D was coop matriarch for a long time, so she was very much the boss. She's taken a more background role the last few years, but no-one messed with her
She still 'crowed' in the coop most mornings before she was let out. Heard her just the other day, so she was fighting fit to the last.
She was always stand-offish and looked at me with total distain most of the time
Glad she went quickly and peacefully in her own time
