MJ's little flock

[LozzyR]

the white stuff on a normal chicken poo is the urates that would come out in pee in a mammal.
So no, chickens do not normally pee.
But they do have occasional very liquid poo which you could mistake for pee.

Do you think I need to be worried? I was listening last night for wheezing and I didn’t hear any,

Have you ruled out the possibility it was water from somewhere?

Good evening MJ and everyone

MJ

Thank you Grammy

I agree fully with this.

I did the best I could, but there's a learning opportunity in every mishap so I'm still mulling it over and wondering what the learning will be.

I'm so sorry that Lorna is lost. You did more than nearly anyone would do to save her. You gave her as good a life as any chicken could have. She was blessed to have you as a caretaker.

Thanks for saying those things Bob. I genuinely did my best for her.

Even the time of year was against her. So many public holiday closures... I couldn't get her to Mark in a timely way.

Not yet.

 

[MaryJanet]

I hope you get a good night's sleep; you did the right thing.

You have been lucky too today; I have not yet witnessed an egg being laid, I hope to someday.

I was amazed.

From her preoccupation to the extreme squatting stance to the pushing noises she made, the whole thing was fascinating.

I have a question; do chickens urinate as well as defacate, or does it mix in together? I have towels on the roosts and where Snowy was sleeping, there’s a wet patch along with a couple of poos. I’m absolutely paranoid at the moment about health concerns and you don’t see chickens just doing a wee.

It should all come out as one.

I don’t think the occasional liquid poo is anything to worry about. But monitor.
Is it hot causing her to drink a lot?
