    Dead Chicken

    i found one of my older hens dead on the roosting poles this morning. She seemed fine yesterday and ate well. She was a red jack and was 4 years old. She was the first of her flock to die. Is this a normal life span for sex link hens?

    My hen died today, can I bury her?

    I had a hen who just passed away she was my first pet and I loved her so much. I think she had Marek's disease she had all the symptoms. I was wondering if it would be okay to bury her in my backyard? I just can't imagine just throwing her in the trash or something.
