Last night I was doing my usual wonder around the paddock, checking fences, etc and saw a small bit of rubbish, tottered over to pick it up and eeeeeewwwwww. Empty condom packet. Used a stick instead to manevour it out of the paddock.

Could have been worse. Could have been the condom :eek:

What is the worst / strangest / ickiest thing you have discovered?
 
Honestly this is ture when I lived at my parents the stables where in the village and one morning I found a used condom in my horses stable poor baby what had she seen.

Like!

Whenever we're at the yard, we have out 3 springer spaniels with us. Between them, they bring back a lovely variety of long-dead animals, and try and give them to us. Rats (Bert decided to eat the rotten rat, the realised that wasn't a good idea and vomited it back up all over the yard. He then got in the car to sulk and was sick everywhere again... He's a charmer, that dog!). The oddest was the dog fox. It went rocketing past and our older springer decided she'd like that, thanks. A few minutes later, she returned, dragging it behind her...
 
There was the time I was working for a racing yard and had to pick all the manky black stuff out of the yard drain, by hand, only to find an enormous black beetle in the barrow when I emptied it!

But worse than that was when I went to check the mousetraps in the feed room, only to find something, probably rats, had been snacking on the mice:eek:.........just hope the poor little beggars were dead before the rats came round:(

Can you send your dog to me, we have a dog fox who keeps 'visiting' our chickens!

She's terrifying. She's not a big springer (whippet thin with supermodel legs!) and lives for hunting stuff down and killing it. The screaming that went on in the bringing down of the fox was scary because we couldn't see who was winning and weren't foolish enough to intervene! You'd have a serious fight to get her- we bred her, and have just sold a litter of her pups who were all also gorgeous!
 
Talking to some workmen one really hot day when the farm dog trotted out of the forest proudly dragging something, a big blanket we thought, until he dropped it at our feet.

It was the rotting hide and head of a deer that the poachers had obviously shot (bow hunters), butchered and left to rot, and rot it had! Nice .
 
Condoms, dead maggoty rats and the dog once proudly dropped a dead maggoty rabbit on my boots on Sunday morning! The yard was at the back of a housing estate - it was 8am on a Sunday morning and I screamed at the top of my voice for several seconds.

No one came to see if I was OK -

Kitty Genovese springs to mind.
 
Horses lived out, but I brought them in for farrier or such like, and opened the stable to find....

A DEAD COW

YO thought it was the best place to ''hide'' it while he waited 4 DAYS for it to be collected.....

I had to do a total muck out/disinfect job.

I have moved since:)
 
My feedbins are in a dark corner. The pony just has a handful of chaff so i used to just reach in grab feed & go. She stopped eating so I investigated feed bin.....and discovered 3 rotting, seething with maggots dead rats :(
