DEAD BIRD DISPOSAL
Mortality and morbidity are, unfortunately, a 'fact of life' in poultry production. It is important to be aware of how to safely (and perhaps profitably) dispose of any dead birds from your flock. Rules regarding carcass disposal may vary from area-to-area so it is important to verify the regulations in your area.
