potty training a chicken??

[KittyChicks]

i did this with my roo

he slept in a dog crate while he was healing from a fractured leg

the crate had newspapers in it and for the first 2 weeks whenever he pooped or looked like he was going to poo i popped him onto the newspaper in the crate and gave him a treat , eventually he got the point and would just walk over to his crate hop in a poo then walk out squawking proudly and then he would get his treat really its just like training any animal, the key is consistency and a proper reward for a job well done or in this case a poo well placed

hope that helps

That's a great story, especially the part about the proud squawking. As you say, I am sure consistency is the key to training.

In the case with my hen, I did not even know that a chicken could be potty trained. I did not even try. She decided to potty train herself.
