DO CHICKENS FART?

You may have gathered from my last post (if you read it) that I'm a bit of a health nut. I work out, eat right, do all that good stuff you're supposed to do to live 'til your 99 1/2.
All this working out makes me hungry so I've been known to eat a breast or two of the winged one on a daily basis. Now there's a fine line between eating enough protein after working out and eating too much (does gorging on eggs count?). I have been known to over-indulge and the after effects, as my missus will testify to, is not pretty. This led me to a very simple question;

If I bang in my pants when I eat chicken, do chickens fart?

Let me do a very Irish thing and answer this question with a question. If you could fart and just decided, nah what's the point, would you?
Well as I found out in my extensive research, apparently chickens do indeed fart, but-get this-they choose not to. The Missus seems to think I choose to bang it up as if it's a party or something. If only I could be as lady-like as the chickens....

On another note this whole blogging thing is great and is a good release from my day job as a goat herder!

    So glad to hear that you are a health nut . I'm afraid the only part of me that work's out are my fingers from blogging and twittering .

    Jaysus, if I had a choice I would probably choose to fart more. Farting is great. It can be used as a weapon, as a means of making people move seats on the bus and a hilarious party trick if you dont like the people whos party it is :)

    It's good craic, especially when we're sitting in the office working and the stench of "chicken" blows right towards me. Just like now. sigh

    Glad to see the question of farting made you do so much research. I just wonder if these facts may be of benefit to me during a table quiz. BTW how do they know did the chickens tell the researchers or something, there is a new question for you to get answers to!
