We have 11 dogs, 11 cats, 50+ layers, 3 goats.... They all get along well. Just need to be around and yell at the dogs if they seem aggressive. The chickens seem to bully the cats lol!

Hi and from Ohio. So glad you joined. Our cats were afraid of the chickens and the dogs just like chasing them but then they were taught not to hurt the chickens.

Hi and welcome to BYC from northern Michigan

It really depends on your dogs. you will want to have a secure area for the chickens regardless, as there are many predators that will take advantage of your chickens if they are left out loose.
