Our bully chicken died & the rest of the flock has been so chill since

Our Buff Orp ‘Big Phat Baby’ died last week. Classic one day she seemed fine the next she was dead scenario. She struggled hard through an early heat wave in April and again through a more recent one. She was a big girl and would literally throw her weight around to steal treats from the other girls. So I assume fatty liver or something heart related.

Anyway. Our remaining 5 girls seemed a little out of sorts the day she went. Understandable. But over the last week they’ve been so calm. If there’s been any strife over the hierarchy I haven’t witnessed it. Just a little pecking at bedtime when the little Easter Eggers try to crawl under the Barred Rocks to sleep, but seriously, who would want that?

TL:DR Have you ever had a bully chicken die and the entire mood of the flock shifted?
