My Totally Gross but Maybe Funny if it Didn't Happen to You Story

I gotta say that really stinks. Let me share a funny now story, I started with 3 chickens, they free ranged in our yard so it was pretty easy to always find them. I am slightly handicapped (use a cane and am usually careful ) I went out to sweep the coop out because my husband doesn't do a good job of it. So I get in there and got the chicken poop and bedding in a pile. I had an audience of 3 at the door watching what I was doing. I turned and went down like a lead balloon. Now the chickens start cackling loudly like get up and get out of our house. I was checking to see if I had broken anything and became aware that I was going to have difficulty getting up. I laid in the chicken poop mixture for about 10 minutes all the while getting clucked at. Oh and left my phone in house so couldn't call for help . Don't know how but managed to pull self up was coming out of coop and here comes hubby who came home on a fluke and wondered where I was and why were the dogs barking and what was wrong with chickens . I was banned from going in the coop any more. We have since gotten 12 additional chickens and they are in a huge fenced area safe from predators. That it is easier to access . So I think a little poop and sometimes stinky poop falls into all our lives.
 
I was dying reading that story!!! Thank you so much for sharing. Oh, I had a broody hen in my broody pen - my husband built it for me - it’s a 10 x 5 ft rectangular box with a removable divider in the middle and two hinged screened lids. Well, I was leaving for the airport on a business trip, trotted down to the broody pen to check on her and the babies one last time before I left. I got into the pen to do something, so I am crouched down in there, in my dress suit and heels. The hen jumps to the top of the divider, and lets loose a voluminous torrent of watery feces onto my head, back, side and leg (accompanied by an explosive wet fart noise). I’m just glad it was a side shot and not into my face, or worse, into my mouth. I had to rush back and shower, change and almost missed my flight!! People kept surreptitiously sniffing as I would go by.
 
Love these poopy stories! Don't exactly have one,but I did see a fresh broody poop recently that was so jaw droppingly large that I wanted to put a dime next to it,take a pic and post it on BYC. Ran in house to get said dime but by the time I got back someone had squashed it. Darn. Missed opportunities .
 
The other day I was weighing some of my ducks and when I went to pick one of them up, it kind of flew up my and left a trail of poo as it did. I ain't scared of poo as long as it isn't cecal or broody . . it wasn't so I went on about my business of getting her weight and figured I'd head over to the hose and wash it off before I went back in for more.
Wouldn't you know my neighbor lady caught me before I could get to the hose and wanted to have a lengthy conversation about the ducks :thI am quite sure she could see and smell the poo all over my arm. . but yet she just kept on talking! :lau
Guess she isn't scared of poo either.

Oh boy. I think you got me beat with this one. I’ll take my stinky phone over a poo shower any day. :sick

Yikes! Good thing you were able to get up. Had you been out there any longer those hens may have started eyeing you as dinner.

I should not have read this thread at work. Tried very hard not to laugh out loud - didn't quite make it. Nobody walked by so I didn't find myself having to explain why I was laughing. I'm only 1 year into duckie ownership so I don't have any especially good poop stories (yet). Thanks for sharing!
