My deepest sympathies during this time for you, your mom, the extended family and all the friends he leaves behind.

He will be very much missed by so very many.

I'm sorry for your loss first of all. There are so many people on here that will help you with the chickens. You won't be disappointed. I have ducks but I know the rest of the crew will take great care of you!

Hi Everyone,

I wanted to introduce myself. My father, Jim Mortensen (also known as Woodmort), was an avid chicken enthusiast and posted here often. He died on April 29th from complications from the coronavirus.

I am now trying to do maintenance of his chickens to help out my mom. One thing that is desperately needed is to clean out the coop, so I will be looking for articles here on how to do that, and what to do in the coop after removing the waste. Any tips you can give would be greatly appreciated, too.

For years I've been enjoying the eggs my Dad has so generously shared with me. Now I'm looking forward to learning about how to care for his funny and delightful birds.

Sorry for your loss Sigrid. Talked to your dad just once on here, saw he was from Oxford, I worked in a bluestone quarry there for yrs way back. Know a lot of people Oxford Norwich area, I'm in Masonville, Sidney school district for the kids. Remember your dad said he was a school teacher.
You'll find everything you need to know about chickens on here, and lot's of support. Stick around and pull up a chair.

So terribly sorry for your loss. Please do take care and wear a mask when cleaning out the coop. Start a nice compost pile. Take care of yourself now.

OMG, I missed this until today. My condolences to you & your family. I always enjoyed your Dad's posts & noticed in the last few months he was around more. I didn't know about him being sick, so was shocked when I noticed the RIP under his profile this morning! Welcome, there are many helpful people on this forum. I will miss your Dad's posts.

I'm sorry your dad passed away. Him and I had several nice conversations years ago. He is sorely missed.
