Well... the trash goes out on Monday so ...





ETA: what do other people do?

My daughter has lost two fish, and each time made me hold a funeral service for them. Don't know what she'll do if we lose a chick.

So Sorry to hear that. I can only imagine how sad and dissappointed you are. Your not a big baby just a kind hearted person!

oh how heartbreaking, i am so sorry for your loss.........

 

[coloradochick]

We always bury ours. If they'd of lived they would have been loved and not thought of as trash. So I tend to treat them that way in death too. To each her own though. Sorry you had to go through this. I'd be a mess.

Depends on the weather. My favorite lavender guinea had to go in the trash yesterday. In the summer I bury them. Is there really another choice when the ground is frozen solid under a foot of snow?

Sorry about the babies

How many chicks were in your order? I'm sorry that they didn't survivie.

Personally, I'd rather leave them for the varmints to dispose of (probably the foxes in our neighborhood). I hate contributing to the local dump. It's a veritable mountain of trash on what used to be a really beautiful valley.

Aimiel that is not a good idea. The last thing you want to do is attract any kind of varmint or even a predator by leaving food for them.

 

[Aimiel]

There's nothing short of fencing our yard and having a dog out there running loose that would keep the varmints out of our yard. We have foxes, coyotes, raccoons, hawks, snakes, rats and many others; due to living next to about twenty acres of un-cut forest.

so sorry for your loss, seems to me they should delay hatching until the weather is more predictable, poor babies.
