What's more dirty???

LOL!! Well put. Dirt IS dirt.

It just depends. The cleanliest animals I have are probably my geckos! I haven't seen them eating chicken poop, stepping in their own poop, pooping in their food/water, or killing and dragging up every animal in the countryside!

2nd place is the hedgehogs, 3rd the cats, 4th the chooks, and 5th - last place - my dog!

I have an outside dog that stays pretty clean but she IS an out door dog. Even though the coop has poop UGH I still say my chickens are cleaner....

My chickens are cleaner by far!! They don't lick their butts

They don't scoot their butts on my carpets.
They don't eat chicken/cat and weird animal poo

They don't have nasty skin conditions that the vet can't figure out

And they don't have raunchy nasty stinky breath

The worst I get from my chickens is some poo on their feet once in a while (dog does that too) and the silkies get muddy when it rains (dog does too). I don't have the dust, I'm not sure why, but I've never had the same dust problems as others do

ETA: Then again, I do have to clean the waterer often of the baby chicks, dog doesn't do that.......

Ok, I just have to say this...
This other day my dog made a big poop in her kennel and, not to get too into it, but it was not a nice color or favorable texture if you know what I mean. So I took the kennel tray outside and hosed it off.
A couple hours later I let my chickens out to free range and to my surprise my naughty head-hen marched straight over to the left over mess in the grass and started eating it!!!! And of course, the other chickens saw she had a 'treat' and followed her lead. I chased them off.
So moral of the story is: MY chickens ate dog doo

 

[rirbrahma]

Gross!!!!!

 

[MaryMouse]

Hypothetical question here.... If a chicken eats the dog doo,,, or dog dog eats its own doo,,,, Which is more gross?

 

[newchickgal]

I think dogs eating the poo is worse cause then they want to give you a kiss!!!
