Accepting the poop

Date sort Score sort
In general not a problem. Of course it depends where and what kind. Hot cecal poo running down your back from that "cute" little chicky sitting on your shoulder.... Well, can't say I tolerated that very well.

Oh I didn'tknow the word for it but it's "cecal". It's nas-tasticly gross. It's that yellow-brown runny poo that smells TERRIBLE.

Somehow my chickens seem to know that's the very poo I most dread, and it's the poo they deposit most on me.

I guess there is so much of it and they do it so often we are just used to it! Cecil poop is rather gross! Runny, smelly, and no telling what color it will be! Yuck!!

I'm ok with chicken poo for the most part. I was a bit grossed out at first, but I knew that if I wanted to have chickens, I would have to learn to live with poo. The wet, runny, stinky stuff I'm not fond of, especially since it always coats their waterer...
 
Chicken poo is gross, but one book I read said at least it dries up in a few days and is easy to sweep away.

My biggest problem is my porch -- I free-range my birds - and I end up hosing it down every other day just so visitors won't have to walk over a poo at my front door. Even if there is one poo on my porch, it's usually RIGHT outside the door. Argh.

I'd rather step on a chicken poo than a dog poo though, that's for sure. And lots of people have dogs.
 
Sadily, I'm to the point where it's, oh, darn poo on my pants and shoes... brush it off and think I'll just put on a new pair tomorrow. If it's the cecal kind and can't be wiped off really well, I might change my pants if it smells.

I'd say I've accepted chicken poo.

The worst is how the free raining girls think the door mat is the place to be, which sucks because our door mat is the type with holes in it and so it falls into the holes and is hard to get out.
