| Meredith as a chick. Bold and orange she was adaptable and smart which is probably why she lived so long. Like her namesake, Meredith was boy crazy. She always hung around Dwight and Angelo when possible. Once the roosters left she became a leader among the hens. They followed her. She didn't follow them. |

| Largest of all the hens she thrived despite adversity. She was missing in action for ten snowy days in October 2010. She survived an attack by a gray fox and a red Min-pin in 2011, an embarrassing loss of tail feathers in 2012, and attempted murder by a red fox in 2013. Meredith, you were one of a kind. |

Poor Meredith. She lived a long life, though.
And she was a good mother to the new chicks. Lots of personality!
Sorry to hear of the loss of Meredith! It was always a joy reading about her and her other hen sisters! I wasn't aware that you had gotten more chickens for your coop!
