¿Silly Chick Question?

[mjdtexan]

I have seen my chick go poop but never pee. I havent checked out their "equipment" that closely but I cant recall seeing anything like that on them. ¿What gives?

Birds do not pee like mammls do. They're "urnine" is mixed in with their poo which is why it seems watery sometimes. It's not like ours and they don't have a bladder. Song birds are like this too, it's just how they work.

You just weren't looking close enough mjd!

If you look at their poo, the white part is the urine.

Another dear friend on this board reminded me that I used to ask questions like that.... Seriously, when I was first here I had NO clue about chickens.

The others are right, it all comes from the same opening, including the eggs. Chickens really are weird, right?
