Chickens do not urinate. They are uricotelic which means they expel uric acid instead of urea or ammonia like mammals. Birds use water more efficiently than other creatures.

Nature has designed a different way for birds to process the water they use and they do not store liquid waste within a bladder. When you see bird droppings (poop), you will notice a dark part and often a white part, the white part of a birds droppings is uric acid.
