One of the chicks is (i think) eating her poo and the others! YUCK
I take her out every now and then and have her on the carpet with a towel down to pet her and let her climb on me. Today i had her out with another chick and she poo'd and picked it up immediately! I bonked (gently) it out of her mouth. Then the other little chick poo'd and she tried to get it before it even hit the ground!!!
I have 3 5 week olds and when they were younger they'd pick up a piece and seem disgusted, drop it, and wipe their beaks on the sawdust trying to get it off....
Why is this one bent on picking it up??? I have not seen her eat it, but I'm assuming when i am not there to bonk it out of her mouth she does? I really don't want a poo eating chicken! I had a dog who did that and i had to get that disgusting tasting stuff to put in her food. None of the others are doing this. Will they follow her lead? The poo is a tad runny too....to add to the grossness of it all....
