Chicken Death & Body

[Sarah2020]

I am sorry for you loss! I always take some feathers off of my beloved flock members when they pass and put them in a scrap book, and with it I write down a few things about them! Then I can look back and read about all my favorite and much missed peeps!

Awe! I love that!!!

I also kept feathers from my indoor pet birds. I expect to do the same for my chickens when their time comes. I saw somewhere that a person put the in jars, which made them both a reminder and part of the decor.

I am sorry for your loss. Try to remember the fun you had with her.

Thank you. Love the jar idea!!!

Totally understandable. We were lucky with one of our girls, we were able to have her necropsied and they cremated her and returned her to us. The others the lab wasn't open for us to take them and so all we have is feathers. Our kids want to start a shadow box with the feathers we saved so we remember them. We have a small flock and for now that works.

That’s beautiful!

We only had her for a week and a half. But one thing I loved so much about her was that she was so vocal! She would always greet me in the mornings in her own sweet squawk.

The feathers will stay softer and pliable longer if you skin the birds cape and saddle. Then just fold a paper towel and place it skin side down to absorb the oils for about a week. As long as it doesn’t get wet it’ll be fine for a long time.
