As many of you know, Dux are sub-poultry and not be be kept in proper circles by proper poultry people. mainly because, they smell, have bad manners, poop in their feed, poop in their water and basically just let squirt wherever they want regardless of the company present.

I have always thought this was because Dux are just dumb or slobs. Recently I found out from an unnamed source nicknamed Fake Eilleen, but I will with hold her real name so no one can point fingers at her..

Anyways this unnamed person made a comment that her chickens poop in their feed and water...(Maybe it was @Miss Lydia does not matter much, we must keep them anonymous)

It dawned on me if their chickens are not toilet trained maybe it is not eh DUX fault but the dux's parents fault. I understand it can be hard to toilet train Chickens and Turkeys, but I do it. All of my birds use the commode I have set up for them. When you work hard and let the bird know what is expected of them, they want to please you.

I would like to have a respectable chicken or turkey owner get some Dux and see if they can be trained. I would do it myself, but frankly, I have a sensitive gag reflex and cannot be that close to dux.

I know I failed at parenting Guineas but that was their fault and not mine. They just refuse to stop using narcotics and to get a real job, preferring to pilfer parked cars and committing armed robbery. It should be noted I was just a foster parent for the guineas and they were never truly mine. Had I raised them from birth they would not have behaved like an unruly flock of dux....

Anyone willing to take on potty training the dux contact me and I will get a government grant to study your findings...

Thanks
 
I don't even have chickens silly.
I just said all birds will poop in their food!
Maybe this is situational given the type of feeders used, and space allowed or number of birds, but I see baby chicks at the feed store all gathered on top of their feeders pooping at Will!

Those are orphan chicks. they need someone to adopt them and teach them manners....and how to use the toilet.

I have outhouses built for my turkeys. However, I forgot to get pictures this afternoon so I will get them tomorrow. They were out of toilet paper and I had to run back to the house to get it and with my advanced age I forgot the camera in the house..

They keep in nice and clean. I have not had poop in the feed in 6 months ot so. The last one to poop in the feed was Hoover, but we all know he was not raised properly..
