Jentaga Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 I have a new puppy who thinks the chickens are just waiting to play with her. It has been 4 weeks now and her enthusiam is not waning despite several pecks and charges! But what I want to know is what do we think is in chicken poo that makes the dog snuffle it up like it's the best treat in the world! It's quite nice to have her clean the garden but I wonder what it is doing to her? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moochoo Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 It's just a simple fact of life that dogs love to eat poo.....rabbit poo, chicken poo, horse poo ( a particular favourite ), fox poo (more for rolling in) I wouldn't be too stressed by the poo eating it seems to be a dog's delicacy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 Unfortunately Sarah is correct Our puppy/dog likes to lick the wellies clean as well - all sorts of poo on our wellies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jentaga Posted July 23, 2007 Author Share Posted July 23, 2007 Thank you, it feels better to know we're not alone. The chickens love the dog's food so perhaps if we let the chickens eat the dog food and then ...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 Thank you, it feels better to know we're not alone.

suzi Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 I know dogs should not eat horse poo if the horse has just been wormed.I wonder if this is the same as when chickens have been wormed and the dogs eat the chicken poo? Suzi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
