Sad day in the chicken house

Today we cry with Bert.............
his buddy, his mate, his partner, died this morning due to a varmit in the chicken yard.
What we don't know yet, but we suspect a coon or a possum.
Lucy was one of 3 red hens that came here last April with Bert and his brother.
They had been dropped off at a farm as chicks and no one wanted them. 
We took them in and rasied them. 
Now how does one explain to a rooster that his best friend is gone.
He has been out looking for her in the human yard.
He knows he has other hens, but he knows he lost one.
His favorite.
RIP sweet little hen Lucy.
