Chickens Can Exhibit Flatulence

[TwoCrows]

Farting is serious business. Not done properly can and does result in death. Colic.

It's not the farting that causes colic, its the impaction that doesn't allow farting to commence, impactions are what cause colic.

Edit to add: I stand corrected on one account, I was referring to Equine colic, not human baby colic that yes indeed can be caused by excessive gas. (I guess my mind turned to livestock when seeing the word "colic".)

Even fish fart.

That could be a funny cartoon. Brings back memories of a cartoon I saw somewhere (MAD magazine, maybe) of a boy sitting in a tub, with his brother watching bubbles coming to the surface and saying, "Do it again, Danny."

MY girls do NOT fart!

Yea, right. Let me guess, they never fart, they only poot.

The worse is the Broody Fart! That will burn the hairs right out of your nose and leave you rolling on the ground like you had been hit with military tear gas.

My limited experience with colic and similar cattle has immediate cause death from asphyxiation. Too much gas on got restricting ability to breath.

Chicken farts

All animals fart. They eat and have an arse. The gas needs to go out in the form of a fart. Watch fish in a tank..

Cattle have 4 stomachs and can suffer twist..So no gas can escape..Bloating kills them.

Chickens belch and hiccup as well.
