So sorry, it is very hard to go through losing our animal friends, we all have been there tooWell, I have to break the news somehow.
I will tell you, although this is through many tears on my side.
Lhicken is not here anymore. She is gone. I am cremating her even though there is a fire ban.



I agree with @rural mouse , you don’t have to change anything right away, keeping her name for your user name for awhile could be a form of remembrance for her, a way of honoring her. Then when you’re ready, a new name may come to you naturally, and it won’t be a hard thing to do. Give yourself the grace of time. Time and self-compassion, self-care - often by caring for all your other chickens - are your best way through this.
