my flocks...

[Happy]

That’s horrible. Sorry that happened

[kenya]

Oh so sorry for your loss, sometimes you never really know what killed them but I too suspect dog. Fox or coyote would have run off with them.

[windwalkingwolf]

What a gut punch, I'm so sorry

[SusanH]

Thank you so much for your condolences. What do you do with the bodies? Stupid question, but I don't know. I would worry if I buried them that some animal would dig them up. Something else for my stinky dogs to roll in. I read somewhere you shouldn't put them in the garbage. Burn them? Let the dogs have roast chicken? My poor sweet girls.

I burned them when I had my disaster and wished them on their way with a toast. Be warned it needs to be quite hot to dispose properly.

Ah crap, I'm so sorry for your losses. it really sucks. we still havent replaced our birds yet. still undecided and kinda enjoying the light load of chores... i have buried one or a few in the past but when theres a big disaster I incarcerate them with a bon fire as well.

take care eh.

Pour white lime over bodies when burying . Keeps critters out burns the carcass plus takes care off any odour . Luck

we just have a bonfire here.....even when we are processing and have all the feathers to go we light the fire and burn...
i'm sorry.....i have held a favorite chicken in my arms after my dog hurt it beyond repair as well. it was not fun....that dog managed to wipe out quite a few of my birds - he even chewed his way through chicken wire fencing.....it just gets ya right in the gut...no fun
