Good bye my love.

My amazing silver laced wyandotte just passed away recently. She was very weak and I had no idea why. She is still lying motionless in the brooder with the other chicks. I just don't have the strength to go in. What am I supposed to do? Bury her? Throw her in the garbage? I've never lost any (extremely close to my heart) living thing in my life before. Please help.

I am sorry for your loss.

I have done both, burying chicks and chickens to throwing them in the garbage. Mainly just depends what season I am in.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

I have always buried past pets (except fish). I have buried my chickens that past away too.


If she was close to your heart, in my opinion, burring her (if possible) will probably be more "respectful/meaningful."

Just curious... if you didn't bury your fish, what'd you do with them?

So sorry for your loss!

I would bury her. You could wrap her in a special cloth if you want. It would be a good idea to bury it as deep as you can. A grave marker wouldn't hurt either.

Im so sorry-I lost two modern game birds that were my youngests pets-we loved them dearly!!! they are in the freezer until I can bury them with her

I always bury all of my pets (including fish). IMO it is more respectful then throwing them in the garbage. I am so sorry for your loss

Bury her in a flower garden-very deep so she won't be found. Sorry she is gone.

I'm sorry to hear about your chick. It is amazing how fast we get attached to them. I think if you can bury her it would be more meaningful for you to go through the process.
