*mummy_hen* Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 I thought some of you may find it useful to know...it IS possible to get pet chickens insured...as well as ducks, geese and the like. I managed to get my ex-batt girlie insured with a company called Exotic Direct, i pay £5 a month and can claim up to £1500 a year for injury, sickness or disease. When i think how much money we have spent over the last year, i really wish i had found this company before Anyway, thought some of you may find it useful, if so their contact number is 01444 412118.

Patricia W Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Is that each chicken or does it cover a number of them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*mummy_hen* Posted July 17, 2009 Author Share Posted July 17, 2009 I think it gets a bit cheaper the more you insure but as i only have one girl left i pay £5 a month for her. It might be cheaper if they aren't ex-batts as well, not sure. I only pay something like £8 for both my ducks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*mummy_hen* Posted July 17, 2009 Author Share Posted July 17, 2009 £35 - i didn't think that was too bad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky Mama Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 £35 - i didn't think that was too bad! I suppose it depends on the price of a standard consultation. I would rather put the money away. If you have 4 brown hens, who is to say which one is insured You could give them all the same name I once knew someone who did that with 2 black cats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olly Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 *ahem* Can I just point out that defrauding an insurance company could not only lead to cancellation of your policy and difficulty in getting ANY other insurance (not just pet insurance) but could lead to criminal prosecution ... you'd never guess what industry I work in, would you?
