Composting - I'm not "Mr. Compost", but we compost all of our offal and
feathers from poultry and rabbit processing days. Composting poultry
mortalities is a NRCS subsidized recommendation. Several states have
booklets describing the procedures. Seems like I have seen precautions
against placing fat in small (home-scale) compost bins, but don't recall the
rationale.

Grace to you.
