(7) Bonus: How did you find BYC, how long have you known about BYC, and what made you finally join our awesome community?

My wife Sarah was a member of this group. She passed away recently and I can't maintain the chickens anymore.
So it occured to me to reach out to this group to find someone to give them to. I hope someone can take them.

Welcome to BYC! I'm very sorry to hear about the passing of your wife. Do you know her BYC username? I'd try posting them in your State Thread. Hope you can find a home for them.

Hiya, and so sorry for your loss.

I would try make a Facebook account if you don't have one and search poultry groups for your state/area. There's where I have my best luck.
