We do the best we can to care for our pets. Sometimes our best isn't enough. That you yourself suffered from heat stroke tells me there really wasn't anything you could have done differently.

My deepest condolences to you. How terrible to lose all three of your pets. Please take care of yourself. Let us know how you are doing, okay?
Thank you. I spent yesterday recovering and am feeling much better now. Several other people lost chickens in this heat, so it wasn't just me. I've also learned about how to close off my shower so if I get more hens and if it gets this hot again I can bring them inside to the air conditioning.
