Question of the Day - Friday, April 5th, 2024

Not exactly. we have a few places that we put birds for the coyotes to grab once we're done with them. Special ones get buried if the ground is soft enough

Pets were buried in selected spots. Now they are cremated, some ashes are spread, and the remainder buried in a favorite spot. Miss Maggie Mae's ashes are buried on a slight hill in the front yard - one of her favorite spots. Beagles are buried at the beagle club.

Chickens get buried in the garden. I give their bodies back to the earth.

The garden has a fence around it, so they are protected from being dug up.

 

[HorseGirlAbby]

Sort of. We have a place we bury them, but they don't have headstones or anything.

 

[Evadig]

I don't have a cemetery yet but when two of our original chickens died we buried them in their favorite spots to sunbathe. We've since moved so when my current ones die I'll section off a cemetery with headstones (some nice rock) and flowers. I can just imagine the look on a prospective buyer's face if we ever had to sell the property!

 

[The Moonshiner]

I toss them to the pigs.
Down to one pig now and she needs to go so don't know what the future brings.

Long time ago, I burried 2 rabbits and planted rose bushes on it. The rose bushes didnt last. Nettle came instead.

After that we became practical and put the rabbits and chickens in a decomposable bag in the green waste bin to get recycled.

 

[Tahai]

No. Dead chickens go to the edge of the property, where they feed the wildlife. Cats and dogs and pet bunnies do get buried.

 

[MamaPoult]

Nope just throw them in the woods. At least other animals can benefit from it.

FYI: Did you know that cats are often infected by the dangerous bird flu from eating dead birds?
