My dog has been around my chickens since day 1. Since they were a week old they were sleeping on her. She has never seemed really interested in eating them, but I am wondering if it is safe to leave her outside while they free range. Like will she be enough to keep hawks away? She has protected my chicks from my other dog (a bit dumber and not trustworthy around chickens) but would she be able to protect them from hawks. We also have bald eagles, but I haven't seen either in a long time.
We have a fenced in backyard and lots of bushes to hide in, as well as a 50 square foot covered run that is always open for them.
