Meredith
Today I got a good look at Meredith after her 10 days on the run away from home. She looks fine; better than fine. She looks 25% larger than the chickens who stayed home. She's been out in the rain and the snow unprotected at night. Maybe she had to grow thicker feathers and that is why she's larger? She was always one of the bigger hens but now she is the biggest by far. Homelessness must agree with her. She probably is more physically fit than her sisters because she had all day to run around. My other hens only get a couple hours a day of freedom to roam.

She's always been a bit larger than the other hens anyway. Phyllis comes close, but she was larger than her before she left. But not 25% larger, for sure. Maybe our neighbor had a good food source for her. How is the other hens all doing now that Meredith's back?
Oh, the hens are fine. Pamela still goes her own way; a little apart from the crowd. Kelly and Phyllis mirror each others emotions. If one is upset, the other one is upset too. I didn't hear them welcome her back but it was night and chickens are so passive in the dark. Maybe they were more welcoming the next day but I was at work.
