Do your pet chickens Pookie on you???

[Shakey]

when I was at the Newnan, Georgia show I saw quite a few people carrying their chickens around everywhere they went. I even talked to a husband and wife who told me about always taking their pet chicken, sparky, to work at the flea market with them. Do these pet chickens never pookie on you? Do you carry them under your arm in such a way that the pookie falls from under your elbow andbhopefully hits the ground? do you have housebroken chickens?

I know this sounds funny, but I am seriously asking . I have an Orpington hen who always wants to climb into my hands. I was carrying her around tonight and she pookied all over my neck and the front of my shirt. Should I have told her a stern no and set her on the ground? Surely all of you with pet chickens do not walk around with chicken poop running down the back of your legs, but what do you do?

Seriously wondering about my pet Orpington...

We have a RIR hen and would poo every time she was picked up. We have 50 others and they don't. Nervous habit?

Baby chicks "pookie" where ever and whenever, and yes, my babies have done it while they were being held.


But I have noticed that when they get older, they gain enough control that mine do not "pookie" while I'm holding them.


In fact, I hold my rooster for about five to ten minutes at a time, at wakeup time, because he acts like an out of control, horny tiger right after he wakes up. I've found that if I hold him firmly for about five minutes, he controls himself after that.


He has never "pookied" on me, even when I hold him tightly for a good while.

*giggle* pookie - I love it. I am stealing that word. It's mine now.

What do you call it when an emu or a goose pookies? Seems like we need a bigger, badder word for that.
