When A Chicken Dies

[PandoraTaylor]

I have a Burn Barrel in my yard, any animal that dies of unknown causes is burned to ashes then added to the compost bin. I don't want to attract predators, chance spreading/catching anything.

it hasnt happened to us yet. but i think we would def bury the chicken. we have lost some house bunnies and have buried all of them. 3 are in our backyard, i used to have a slate on the ground telling me where the bunnies lied, i since have taken up the slate,, it was sad for me to walk by the slate and think "thats where my buns lie"
i will always know where they are in our yard. thats better for us.
i would bury my chickens or dog in the same area,, so ill always know.

I bury mine unless they die in the winter than the ground is frozen and makes it too difficult.

I bury mine under my blueberry bushes that they love, circle of life. They feed the blueberries and the blueberries feed them...

Burn them and then put them in the compost pile, then they can become beautiful flowers.

Me, too. I like the idea of burying them, but my soil is mostly rock, and the coyotes, raccoons, or neighbor's rat rat terriers would no doubt dig up anything I tried to bury.
