DH gets a lesson about broodies

[horsejody]

I have one chicken that we refer to as the Broodie from H@!l. She gets in the barn cats' food dish and refuses to leave. If I attempt to mover her, I will have bloody stumps where my hands used to be. DH, on the other hand, can pick her up. She seems to like him better. Every night he retrieves her from the barn and returns her to the coop. Poor DH came in the house covered with pooh telling me that something must be wrong with Buffy, because she had a stinky poop explosion all over him when he picked her up. He didn't know it was possible for a hen to save up that much poop. The poor guy didn't know the dangers of broody poop! She got his shirt, his pants, his shoes and the cat standing next to him. Hopefully, he will still get her out of the barn for me every night.

Rain gear sounds like a great idea!

I just found new respect for our constantly broody hen Edna. Hatch all the golf balls and ping pong balls you want

Isn't that broody poop scary??? Hard to believe something that huge could come out of a tiny chicken butt.

He should get one of the full body suits like the npip guy wears when he comes to do the chickens! Complete with boot covers!

Broody poo is HORRID!

Um, broody poo? I don't have any experience with this. I'd rather be armed with knowledge (even if it's unpleasant knowledge).

It's the most horrific stench you can imagine, basically. hehe Basically I guess b/c of their diet or something when they are brooding eggs and chicks, their manure is horrible, horrible smelly and can range from diarrhea like to cow patty like. heh It's BAD. Makes me want to gag every time I have a broody.
