Do Zombies taste like Chicken?




That is the question we pondered as we tried to deal with our dead rooster. Our red rooster was killed two weeks ago by our other rooster. We learned you should only have one rooster per flock of so many hens; this prevents fighting and death.
In rural areas you have a "dead pile" to let mother nature take care of disposing of dead livestock.
Coyotes, vultures, rats, skunks etc. will all snack on a dead pile. Our neighbors all told us to take a carcass out into the woods far away from the house. So we took dead rooster out to the edge of our field to be consumed by nature; or so we thought.
Then we noticed our dog next to a dead chicken on the lawn. Yep, it was zombie chicken back from the dead pile. Osa, our dog, was trying to bring it back home. So this time as the sun was setting we hiked back into our woods to bury the zombie chicken. But it seemed our dog might want to bring it back again. So we treed the rooster. Put zombie rooster in a tree fork and hoped nature will find it and take care of it for us for the second time. Zombie chickens smell really bad. I guess in spring time predators are full and pass on zombie chicken.
