I am so very sorry for your loss. I lost my Son, first born, he was 35. My heart goes out to you. This is a great group. You can find lots of information on how to best care for your girlsMy son passed on 3/6/21 at 36 years old and I have since inherited h is s house and his chickens . Laverne and Shirley are their names ( I'm surprised they seem to know that too because they respond) there were 3 but at some point the youngest one didn't go in the coop and we couldn't find her in the dark however, something didAnyway, I'm doing the best I can and am trying to learn all I can about them so they can have a strong happy good life. I'm very happy to have found you guys now I feel I have some support I am not doing this alone ( although I would if I had to ) but I'm very glad you all are here to help .
Thank you Dr Evy , can I ask you a quick question? Is it ok to put the feed and water inside the coop ( it's in feeding bowls) during the times, like today where they refuse to come out in the winds cold and snow?I’m so sorry about the loss of your son.Welcome to BYC.

I'm sorry for your loss also, he was my first born that survived, I lost a son during delivery 3 years before his birth. I'm hoping to get all I need to know from this group. There are only 2 but if I end up doing well with them I may get more eventually.I am so very sorry for your loss. I lost my Son, first born, he was 35. My heart goes out to you.
