Bury her in the garden or cremate her in an incinerator - or gor vast amounts of money your local vet will arrange a cremation ceremony and return the ashes to you - depends if she is an animal for eggs or a pet.

It is quite legal to "Bag and Bin" your dead pet chicken in the ordinary domestic waste.

It is illegal, however, to bury it in your garden - another example of the law being an ass  :roll:

Oh dear, it would appear I've broken the law.  All our old horses are buried in the bottom field and various dogs, hamsters, rabbits etc are all buried in the garden. I think I'll rename our house along the lines of 'Bio waste hazard area.'

Weird it's perfectly legal to bury a human in the back garden, as long as the authorities know  :wink: and you fill in the right forms  :roll:

Where we used to live, the chap over the road, who lived with his partner, had his wife buried in the back garden. I don't think I'd like it, in case I had to move.

Buried several small animals and 2 cats though. We were nowhere near watercourses and the ground was free draining.

Thank's for your advice are garden is quite small and with a couple of dogs I don’t think burying is an option, I feel the cremation idea is the best and she can still be laid to rest in the garden.
thank you.

It's quite legal to bury pets in the garden but chickens do not qualify as pets under the DEFRA regs:

The definition of a pet animal given within the EU ABPR is 'any animal belonging to species normally nourished and kept, but not consumed, by humans for purposes other than farming'. Therefore the normal farm species such as sheep, cattle, pigs, goats and poultry etc. would fall out with this definition and would require disposal by an approved route other than burial.

Mine chooks get buried in the garden - but don't tell any one  :wink:

I thought it was legal to bury a horse as long as no standing water in the 'hole'. If there is standing water then it's not allowed. My friend had to have her mare pts last year as she had severe colic and wasn't able to keep her on her land, she had to be 'disposed of'. :(
