Sudden chicken death, a few questions

[casportpony]

I just found one of my birds dead last night. It was 1am & she was in the quarantine coop because she just didn't look right to me. No runny nose, but she did have rattles when she breathed. She was stiff when I found her. Being that it was so late, I left her body there & decided I should deal with her in the morning. Its Sat tho. Can I still send her body in on Mon if I refrigerate her now? Also, should I refrigerate her dry or put her in water? Saline?

Sorry for your loss, just refrigerate her and she'll be fine until Monday. Make sure you call the lab a get their FedEx number, it will save a bunch on shipping!

"Do not tell anyone at FedEx that you're shipping a dead animal"

What do you tell them it is then if they ask?

If you package her the way shown, they won't, but if they do, just say supplies, lol.
