What do you do with your chickens when they die?

Since most are deaths of unknown reasons, I burn them.

Oh, that is a good idea too.

Hello ya'll

Since I recently lost 2 of my favorite chickens for unrelated issues. It got me to thinking...what do you do with your chickens when they die? Do you bury them? Throw them in the trash? Eat them? I am curious. I have started a chicken cemetery it seems. That is definitely not my future plan. I was just curious to know what everyone does with their chickens when they die.

Thanks!

I have thrown ours away. I have also heard they make great compost by an Aussie on YouTube who buries everything in his garden boxes.

Mine are too. I ugly cry every time one dies. I hope I don't have to ugly cry again for a long time.

Yeah, me too. Before getting chickens, I didn't realize I could get so attached to the silly things. But I love them.

Yes! Exactly! I never thought I would like chickens. Now I cannot get enough of these weird little birds lol.

Mine are all pets, so they get buried in the pet cemetery (aka my backyard).

I cry so much too. Try to distract yourself for a while.

I ugly cry too whenever I lose a bird. It always gets better with time. We’ve had 50+ hens over the years (7-8 years I don’t know exactly) and guess how many I have now? 16! And I’ve never had to put a bird down for any reason (I know crazy) and I haven’t really lost birds to disease either. At any given time we’ve had 5-20 birds. Almost all my loses have been from predators but this year I’ve only lost one witch is still very sad but is much better than 6 per year like (according to calculations) is what I’ve lost in the past but not what I remember.
