Henergy Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 OK delicate natures don't read on ! I should have taken a picture but didn't - we had a strange large (almost human sized - sorry !!!!) poo left next to our coop last night - I don't think fox as it was not long & dark - it was dark but covered significantly in white. When I cleaned it up it didn't smell too bad so I don't think it was cat either ? Any ideas ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peckingham palace Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Hmm not sure about the white bit, if it was fox though it would have stunk to high heaven, fox poo is horrendous for smell as I know from when one of my dogs rolled in some in the field, thanks Henry!

soapdragon Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Could well be the chickens! We have three bantams and sometimes, when I go out to poo pick before the lads go out to play, I wonder if we've had emus in the garden! Seriously, these are BIG poos; greenish with a bit of white and non smelly. I do find that bantam poo can vary soooo much depending on what they have been eating (much the same as humans, I suppose ) and what is in their mash (they love leeks but that seems to have a detrimental effect, say no more!!! ) I would'nt worry!!!

craftyhunnypie Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 My silkies do humungous ones! Extremely large like the size of an ice cream scoop. Too much detail there I suppose. What's badger poo like? Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoice Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 The white on it would indicate a bird as that is the urea they pass, wrapped around their poop. Mammals pee and poop separately. It's probably from one of your chooks that they've been saving up for you! Unless you have geese or ducks visiting? I'm no poop expert. do you get on with your neighbours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henergy Posted April 15, 2011 Author Share Posted April 15, 2011 Thanks everyone - we have lovely neighbours !!!!! I think too that it was either my hens or the rather large male pheasant that has been hanging around. I'm not too worried so long as its not fox poo !!

daxigirl Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Mine frequently do poop that's bigger than their eggs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chortle Chook Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 I agree with everyone else. Some chicken poos can be simply huge . . . as big as my dog's These big ones always have that white bit too, whereas some of the smaller ones don't. The bigger ones also seem to have little smell (unlike the toffee doo doos) Both fox and badger poo however really stinkm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henergy Posted April 16, 2011 Author Share Posted April 16, 2011 It reminds me of when I first had babies & all the mums at the clinic were obsessed with nappy content ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
