I apologize for the indelicate question, but...

Do chickens pass gas? I swear I heard it as one of my three month old's leaned down to grab a piece of watermellon.

I've heard/seen chicken boof's either just before or just after a poop... but they are mostly silent.

Pretty sure they do. I've heard some pretty indelicate noises from broody hens before.

That's so funny. I have never encountered it before. I wonder if they have a putrid odor?

Oh they do.

We decided to move a broody hen from the very inappropriate place she had decided to sit and my daughter volunteered to move her. I am very glad it was her rather than me......nasty mom!

She picked up said broody who farted and pooped continuously for the time taken to move her to her new resting place.

As she had not been up and about for 2 days, the gas propelled broody poop managed to cover all one side of her sweat shirt , jeans and wellies. I really should have taken a picture but I was laughing too much.....nasty, nasty mum.

Still it's usually me who gets the chicken poo, lamb poo,bitten fingers, head butting, foot trampling etc.that is inherent with chickens, sheep, and many other animals.

Of course they do, i've yet to hear one burp though.

I'm going to my class reunion next weekend. Worried when the subject comes up as to what I've been doing lately, my mind will draw a blank of all subjects except chickens with enough gas to float small balloons.
