A broody poop ? .... My Mindy Araucana deposits THE largest poops one could ever imagine. Bigger than my Golden Retriever Miss Ruby --- I kid you NOT.
She waits until she is outside her coop in the morning - and then it's 'go' time. I sure hope she is not becoming broody, as things get 'larger' ... she has done the broody thing twice before - whereby I lock her out of her coop ( weather permitting ) with her food and water, and she gets over the broodiness in about 3 days flat. If it's raining, I bring her inside - thus interrupting any comfort zone she might think she's got. ( she loves being inside anyway !! ). Meantime she deposits massive fertiliser ... but overnight her droppings are small and normal looking ( for a chook )
Basically, deposits enormous droppings outside - no matter what. ??
.....
Mentioned a while back that one of my big girls ( Mandy Welsummer ) passes normal looking woopsies when she is in moult. Comes time to lay again - and she goes back to having the squits. .... Big time. ... And she's done it again, this year - when they all came back into lay. Passes ( I noticed ) the urate first which kind of dribbles down - and then pushes down with the biggest fart sound ... and a load of very very soft woopsies that kind of squirts out behind her - with the sound effects !. ( sorry to be so graphic in detail ) ....
I am not worried about it, as she's done this for the past 3 years - when laying. And ( so far ) is one healthy chook. Weird though eh !
One glorious day, I will get off the subject of chicken woopsies --- which I have posted about on quite a few occasions. And no, I am not chook woops obsessed !!
Cheers all .......
Maybe your chook thinks she's a duck. They don't care when and where they poop. . I have had one come right up will I am filling their waterers and squirt right on my foot before. My girls are very classy as you can tell
