Dogs & chickens

[Edie53]

does anyone have suggestions on how to keep your dog from eating chicken poop?? It doesn’t agree w/her digestion and besides it’s gross. I yell at her, but then she goes right back to it.

Giver her time, she will loose interest in it.

Idk.... I have an 8 year old dog that's been obsessed with eating chicken poop for... well... 8 years

One of my two Beagles and a 6 month old Pit, go Crazy over Chicken and Cat poop! They don't show any I'll effects from it but yes, it's gross. Positive side, with 5 Kittens and a house bound Chicken, in recovery from feather pulling and torn skin, There is very little Clean Up for Momma to do....JJ

I just clean up the yard best I can, though if you're free ranging that'll be next to impossible. Other option is to give the dog a chicken free dog run so it has space to run around in that's poop free.

Sigh. Well, I didn’t really think there was anything I could do. Thanks for the support tho!

My dog is not allowed anywhere near the chickens, but he sure does love the wild turkey poop!! Our joke around the house is that it's good, but not turkey poop good.

My dogs eat all types of poop. Chicken, Ducks, Horse and Cat poop. Has no ill effects..

Lol, this explains a lot! Gracie always comes in at night with GHASTLY breath. We thought it was deer poop. Sneaky girl!

Eating it doesn’t bother me nearly as much as ROLLING in it.
