Egluntyne Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 Found this link on another forum http://www.exoticdirect.co.uk/ They insure chickens. Are you sitting down? It is £41.40 pa for 1st bird and £35.52pa for each additional bird That would cost me nearly £300! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theherd123 Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 I agree it is a little costly but if you have an expensive vet bill it might be worth it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cate in NZ Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 Yikes.... I guess mine will be remaining uninsured then That said for those with valuable breeding birds it may be a good investment.... but probably simply not worth it for those of us with fairly commonplace (in terms of breed) pet hens.

One Man Banned Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 For the most of us with two hens that's £6.51 a month and I bet there's lots of exclusions (will have to go to their site tomorrow as must go to bed for work!) A xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 Looks pretty rubbish if you read the exclusins and compare it to what we have seen ill health wise here If the chicken escapes and gets hurt not covered. Attack by vermin not covered. Egg laying problems not covered. Beak and claw problems not covered. Feather pecking own or other birds not covered. Injury caused by another of your own pets not covered and pre existing problems that re occur not covered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 Well, that is just about everything you would need covering Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Man Banned Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 possibly as long as no-one else is invloved, there was no ignitor and as long as it's not taken without your permission! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trish Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 They want how much?!! And you only covered if the chook gets struck by plague on the 9th Wednesday of a month with X in it, and only then if the winds in the right direction and the skys turned pink. Daylight robbery if you ask me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
