Can you potty train a chicken?

Can you potty train a pet chicken? I let mine in sometimes. They make chicken diapers at Meyers but that's messy. Let me know any ideas.

If you do you will be the first to do it! The short answer is NO!!!

Chickens are pretty smart and need more credit than they are given. I have never tried potty training before with poultry, but I have seen them do amazing things. With enough work, I believe that they can be trained to do many things, including using the toilet!

Good luck in the training! If you do succeed, keep us posted! You might keep a journal and even take pics. This would make a wonderful thread!
