theherd123 Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 *DAFT QUESTION OF THE WEEK* Can you get chicken insurance like you can get other pet insurance? If so do you insure the whole flock or each individual chicken? I am so because i think this is a really stupid question but i really want to know as vet bills can be quite high!

Egluntyne Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 I've wondered the same. Rang Direct Line and they said no-one had asked before! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 Strangely enough when I was at the vets last I picked up a specialist bird insurance leaflet. It didn't mention chickens though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mel (& Paul) Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 I would imagine that it is unlikely except through a specialist - might be worth checking with NFU Mutual - you never know = although they may only insure flocks of 10000s (hey, how many more eglus can I fit in my garden.........)

harveypup Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 Obviously they didn't take my request seriously as I have yet to receive a reply Unless of course somebody at the company has realised the potential and is researching as we speak Will post again if I hear anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
