cordelia Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Sorry for this frivolous post, and it is a little horrific, but does make my husband laugh, and the rest of us wretch... We seem to have discovered a successful method of poo picking in the free range area of the garden.... ...our chocolate labrador goes around and eats it... ...sorry very gross.. and we dont seem to able to stop him.. ...thought I'd share that stomach turning moment with you all.... Also, I so wish I had a lovely lilac or pink eglu....mine is green...still gorgeous but I wish I'd chosen a more girly colour My brother is hoping to get a cube, and then I'll be incredibly jealous, and happy at the same time, as he'll love the chickens... his garden is much bigger than ours, so he can fit one in easily.. I hope he'll be able to get one, as his wife (my sister in law) is rather set against it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chucknette Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 My dog did this and i did manage to stop her in the end because chicken poop gives them the most awfull wind which she shared with us in the evenings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HENthusiastic Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 cordelia, you obviously need to set yourself up in business, renting your dog out to chicken keepers. You could then become rich enough to move house, to a place with a bigger garden and buy yourself a girlie coloured cube with loads of chickens. That dog has the answer to all your problems! chicken poop gives them the most awfull wind which she shared with us in the evenings :lol: On second thoughts............ maybe not!

chelsea Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 my German Shepherd licks her lips every time she's sees a chicken poo! She knows she's being naughty as she'd rather eat it in secret when we are not watching and then comes in and licks your face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keyhole kate Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 I wonder if its a labrador thing Dog borstal this week had a Lab with exact same problem but they didnt have chickens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JM Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 My lab loves it too (well he loves all sorts of poo to be honest!) - especially the smelly ones! Luckily he doesn't lick us, but he does burp when he's enjoyed something .... He's a wonderful dog and I love him dearly - he's just got yukky habits!

Redwing Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 but very convenient When we were looking for a dog and researching breeds I remember reading that chocolate labs have stranger habits than the yellow and black ones - it also said they were more clumsy Our terrier once rolled in some badger poo and while I was telling him off he found some human sick and rolled in that too! I had to wrap him in a blanket and selotape it in place before I put him in the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emmaw298 Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 not just labs, our springer loves poo of all descriptions too! particularly horse manure - the fresher the better! sometimes when we are out walking, she'll run ahead where we can't see her and come back with a big mouthful of it, with brown/black smeared all round her face. Too gross! we once also caught her rolling on a dead, half decomposed bat (took a while to work out what it was) - why do dogs do such gross things?? but then even so, we still all love them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluckbok Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Our golden retriever was very greedy and naughty too, he once went a field and ate horse manure and then rolled in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen&Lee Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Yep we have the same problem! One of our Springers, Barney adores hoovering up the chicken poo! We have to be very careful not to let him too near us when he comes in - manure breath is most unattractive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chook n Boo Mum Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 I wasn't going to admit that my 3 have the self-same revolting habit, but now someone else has brought up the subject - they have and they do!! And until we barricaded the run doorway, would "hoover" the run too!!! And yes choccie labs are more clumsy & daft then the other 2 colours. Was told a while ago that the 3 colours can be described in one word each: Clumsy - chocolate Crazy - Black Greedy - yellow Not far wrong either! I've got a friend who's a dog breeder & trainer & she says she'll never take on a choc for training (except mine of course, who she loves to bits!!) Wouldn't be without any of my 3 though, they are all adorable in their own little ways! Sha xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Might be a good idea to worm him. No wonder some dogs have less than fragrant breath.....and worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urbanchick Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 We have a wheaten terrier and he lurrrves chicken poo. He devours every bit he finds and farts all evening. Not as bad as his other revolting habit though - when toilet training our boys on the potty he is very keen to help us clear up, if you know what I mean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
