amateurkeeper Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 ...do your ladies fart when they poo??? I have been watching the chooks most of the day, and twice now one of the red bantams has made a rather squelchy, farting noise when pooping! Is this normal, or is there something wrong with it's diet? (And for those with strong stomachs, it's mostly smelly liquidy poos!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 classy. Mine dont as a rule but a broody hen will eject a stinking great poo along with several noisy flourishes Has your red bantam been broody? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amateurkeeper Posted June 28, 2010 Author Share Posted June 28, 2010 LOL I know, sorry...! As my name would suggest I'm pretty new at this chicken keeping lark, and every little noise/action makes me worry something is wrong Nope not broody at all - but it is the bully of the group!

Redwing Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 hmmm I'm guessing its because she is drinking so much water in this heat then If she looks well enough I wouldnt worry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goldstar Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Mine have been doing the same today. I think it is because they have been drinking a lot as they were wormed last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannablue Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Mine sometimes just fart Mine too! I was sat on the bench with a friend watching them in their run..telling her how lovely they are etc. etc. All was peaceful then suddenly this noise.... my friend looks at me, I look at her and we both burst out laughing! The culprit just casually walked around the run pretending it wasnt her bottom that just erupted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
