Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

I can see your lovely wife endorsing this. NOT!!!

I'm more worried about her permitting this than myself. She loves ALL animals and is now frequently taking about chicken diapers. I am actually concerned that this would support her arguments for chickens in the big coop.

Begs the question can chickens be litter trained at all? They are smart little creatures, and I know that the girls in the barn sometimes hold their poops until they get out in the morning. They run outside make the “pooping face” (posture thing... just like a human baby!) deposit a big one then they run to the feeder, which may be inside the barn if it’s raining. Broodies hold it and don’t poop on the nest?

Yes ma'am and, i know someone whos pigeon is trained to potty in her cage only. She wont go in her nest either but off of the roost onto the paper. Sweet sweet pigeon lives indoors.

Mr @Serin you would probly really appreciate how this man Mr @BY Bob treats his chickens as pets. Just like we were discussing yesterday how poultry are much better suited as pets than exotics even here in one of the larger forms.

They are smart enough to be taught (my opinion). I swear I saw something online about how to do it once years ago.

You might have to start training them for that when they are younger?
