📋 About This Mod
In vanilla Skyrim some harvestables like rabbits and pheasants don't disappear when harvested, instead just becoming
uninteractable. This is how the models from Hanging Dead Chickens Replacer - Mihail's Shards of Immersion (SE-AE) also behave by default. This mod patches the meshes so that when harvested, the chickens disappear instead.
Also a version for Mihail Chicken Variant (Color - Weight - Hanging) - SPID-BOS available.
Requirements:
Hanging Dead Chickens Replacer - Mihail's Shards of Immersion (SE-AE) or
Mihail Chicken Variant (Color - Weight - Hanging) - SPID-BOS for their respective versions.
Installation:
Download and overwrite the original meshes. The FOMOD will probably choose the right version automatically for you.

This patch makes Mihail's hanging dead chickens disappear when harvested, fixing a common immersion-breaking issue. It contains only meshes and no ESP, making it a lightweight compatibility fix for Skyrim modders using that mod.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Tiny, focused fix that solves a real annoyance (235 endorsements).
- No ESP means zero plugin slot usage and no load order conflicts.
- Simple mesh replacement—easy to install and remove.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires Mihail's hanging dead chickens mod to be useful—this patch does nothing on its own.
- Only affects the hanging chickens; other harvestable objects from Mihail's mods remain unchanged.
- Last updated in 2023, so it may not be compatible with newer versions of the base mod if it's been updated since.
For Skyrim players who use Mihail's hanging dead chickens and hate that they stay after harvesting. If you're a completionist who wants immersive world interactions, this is a must-have. Skip if you don't use that mod or don't care about the leftover chickens.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the original hanging dead chickens mod installed first, then drop this patch's meshes into your Data folder, overwriting when prompted.
- Since there's no ESP, you don't need to worry about load order—just let it overwrite the original meshes.
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, install this patch after the original mod and let it overwrite to ensure the fix takes effect.
