Hello everyone! It's been a while. Long story short, it's been two years since I've had backyard chickens and I think I'm ready to get a new flock. Only one problem; my dog. She is a Jack Russel Terrier, and even though she's the sweetest thing to me, she gets to aggressive with other smaller...

Hello! As some of you have may known, I got some chicks! Pepper and Piper! Well, I was down in the garage with them, and they were in their coop. All of a sudden, they started fighting! Not just some gentle pecks, they started jumping on each other and pecking each other, like a serious fight...
