MJ's little flock

[RoyalChick]

To add yet another edge to my day of extreme chickening, I just had the extraordinary good luck to witness Janet lay an egg. At 8.33pm. In the big coop. Not in the nest.

She was acting strange in an eggy way and I thought, "Oh no, Jan's egg bound." Nope. Just waiting for it to come out.

Ivy and Peggy were as surprised as I was and we all gathered around to watch it drying off.

Extreme Chickening is a good phrase.

Extreme Chickening is a good phrase.

It's been quite a day.

It's been quite a day.

I hope you get a good night's sleep; you did the right thing.

You have been lucky too today; I have not yet witnessed an egg being laid, I hope to someday.

It's been quite a day.

I’m just off to bed now and wanted to let you know I’m thinking of you.

Good evening MJ and everyone

Good evening folks

MJ you did everything possible

 

[BY Bob]

You did, you tried as hard as any human could, and went above and beyond what most people would.

I agree fully with this.

I have a question; do chickens urinate as well as defacate, or does it mix in together? I have towels on the roosts and where Snowy was sleeping, there’s a wet patch along with a couple of poos. I’m absolutely paranoid at the moment about health concerns and you don’t see chickens just doing a wee.

I'm so sorry that Lorna is lost. You did more than nearly anyone would do to save her. You gave her as good a life as any chicken could have. She was blessed to have you as a caretaker.

the white stuff on a normal chicken poo is the urates that would come out in pee in a mammal.
So no, chickens do not normally pee.
But they do have occasional very liquid poo which you could mistake for pee.
