YOU DID NOT

He started the wrong fight!

Oh no
I've had nasty high protein poop on my hands. I was hugging Dougie when she was a teen.
Ew. Awful.
Only happened a couple times though, they generally know not to do it. I held them almost all day as day olds and they only pooped on me once! They'd tell me when they needed to go, and I'd put them in the brooder.

My ex couldn't handle it, he claimed Sprightly pooped on him but there was nothing there, perhaps some water? Not even that. I couldn't take it seriously, he was acting traumatised and there was nothing there.

I have never been more amazed than each morning I clean up the poop from my broodies. It's really a jaw dropping experience

Did you dissect it?

I tried to! It was a clump of fur, super dirty and wet, with just bits of grit or something in it. Pretty gross. 99% sure it's all that's left of some rodent. Couldn't see any other possibility

 

[Corbdee]

Yup, I could definitely be more hygienic when handling duck mess, but I just get on with it and wash my hands well after. The mud and poop mess is just part of my life now. You gotta embrace it!

Its not that bad, only when it's rich in protein, then its wet and stinky.

Same, once you get to a certain point you just throw hands.

My boy is not from a hatchery
He has some neat patterns
And he makes beautiful sons with his pekin wife

Yea i have seen very beautiful Khakis! Just i have seen multiple from the same hatchery and they are dull and plain, almost like they were bred that way.

I love husky's oh my gosh

Well she's technically only part husky. She was advertised as a husky mix, being a rescue I have no idea what else she is. Moults like a husky though

My golden retrievers are not BASIC! Mine are intelligent and each have their own personality. Mine are not like ones you see online

Golden retrievers are my favorite dog, and if that makes me basic for loving something so lovable and goofy and fluffy, so be it.
