Oh, I'm sure we were a sight...probably one that most people would run from. XD

LOL, yeah stories like this are always entertaining when they're not involving the people doing the reading.
It's only been two days, but now that the rug is steam cleaned and all is well, it is easier to chuckle about.

I know, right? Something so cute and inherently innocent.....YEAH RIGHT, now I know better!

Oh, I'd have died. I can clean a carpet in a matter of hours, but you sure can't replace plants that fast. Yikes! Fortunately, our garden already has deer fence around it, which will be plenty good to keep our chickens from following in the footsteps of yours.
I've always heard that animals make us healthier and live longer by reducing stress.....I am finding so many discrepancies in this thread alone! ...fart-tards...
...love it!

Ours had apparently visited our bed because we found two poops on it. So the coverlet hit the wash on "sanitize" somewhere in the cleaning flurry that ensued.

If I wouldn't have been on the verge of a meltdown, I probably would have thought to take a picture (if nothing else, to remind us of what could happen with chicks in the future). Never thought to get a camera.

Oh, you got that right! Since this is our first experience with chickens, everyone we told/found out we were getting them kept asking if we were going to eat them. I personally, have an unavoidable habit of bonding with any animal within my care, so the answer has always been no. I told my DH the night this happened, though, that incidents like this were apt to change my mind for me.

Yep, we've been through poop festivals with other species in the past. Our cats, most notably, which we found as 2 week old strays in a shed at work, "poo fingerpainted" our bathroom for us TWICE when they were still learning to use a litter box and were quarantined to the bathroom. At least they were hard, easily cleanable surfaces, but the smell and sight....AAAAUUUGH!!

Oh no way! Two of them zipped right back into the brooder like guilty birds they were! If we have chicken invaders, I'm moving out!

She absolutely is, no joke! ...and she was one of the two sitting on the cat tree staring at us like, "What?"
They're doing well so far. Last night was their second night out and they put themselves to bed in the coop while we were putting in the grounding rods for their electric fence.

We'll have to build on a bigger bathroom so that we could put a brooder in it before we get any more chicks!
