after their gone?

Hi guys,

I know this sounds a bit of a weird question but when you have a chook die at home what do you do with it?

[Glutton4...]

Double bag and bin!

Double bag and bin!

Phew, I am not alone then We buried the first ones but ran out of land with deep enough soil.

[Two_Sheds]

No chooks, but the other pets are underneath various bushes & shrubs in the garden

Rabbit and guinea pigs under the bush, chickens in the bin

[Nicos]

I think you are not supposed to bury livestock!

Bin I'm afraid here too!

[Glutton4...]

There are rules about the depth you must go down, I was told at least two metres, and I ain't diggin' that far. Also, you must be a certain distance from a watercourse.

So, Bin!

In the field over the fence for passing foxs

We have bins for food waste so in that bin with mine unless they are pts at the vet in which case they "take care of them for you"!!!!!

[Allotment Nerd]

Bag n bin I'm afaid

[digthatchick]

Not allowed to bury in garden DEFRA say double bag and put in bin - believe me, with the number of fox attacks we have we are getting used to it! (Luckily only one this year!)

[RichmondHens]

We bury pets, but double bag and bin chicken remains.

[petal]

Yep, in the bin, or to the ferret......

Touch wood we have not had any fox problems yet!!!!!!!!!! There is a theory that if you feed foxes they will leave the hens alone. Our foxes will be hungry as we don't have many dead chooks to feed to them thank goodness.
