Oh this is the funniest thing ever, thanks for the good morning laugh, smiling and snickering and snorting too. I like Uno's idea, just don't smell it!!
You ain't smelled or seen nuthin' til you have witnessed the mass of a large waterfowl, I speak to the Muscovy duck breed, as that is all I have borne witness too. Now that is one stinkin' womper for surely, huge and oh man, the stench!! Fowl evacuate frequently, guess they are made that way, so when something is held in for like a day or longer, that really is a horrid mess. Praise to the broody poos!!
This is an interesting subject. Right now I am dealing with chicken broody poos. I have two hens that have hatched out chicks. They are not out in the open environment yet, still contained in their brooding areas. Each day I have to go, well I don't have to, but I have to go and remove the big poops cause they are big. They are not as big as the hen sitting on eggs that goes infrequently, but still they are big. I think when in contained areas they just don't poop as frequently as they would when they are at large. My broodies don't poop in their brooding boxes because until about 3 days before hatching, they are still in the open coop with everyone. There is a point where no hen will go and try to lay an egg in those meanies nest boxes, so I just let them be where they are happiest. Watching the other chickens eat, play and drink. They don't poop in the brooding box, thankin' me lucky stars!! But I could not imagine putting my hand into a huge broody poop, of any type of bird. Have fun. And with that, have an awesome day, CynthiaM.
