Cute Chick Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Does anyone elses dog enjoy eating the chiccken poo. When we open the eggport or the run the dogs are there hoovering up around us. They enjoy it as much as horse poo on walks which we anticipate and discourage. Difficult to avoid with the chickens who free range. Certainly keeps the garden clear, but will it do them any harm Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 I did read something about this on the chickens page.I think the general concensus was that it is a bit yucky,but probably harmless! If you do a search,you should be able to find the thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Sometimes my chickens seem very keen to eat their poo - I remember a thread about that, but I'm not sure we came to any conclusions about the reason! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
