Can you put raw chicken in the compost?

QUESTION: Can you put raw chicken in the compost?

ANSWER: Any meat product, whether cooked or raw, should not be included in your compost. For one thing, these materials can result in a very unpleasant smell as they break down. They also tend to attract undesirable creatures, like rodents and maggots, so all meat products should be avoided. The same goes for fish, grease, or dairy products.
