    Can a dog and chickens safely coexist in a small backyard?

    I have a dog and chickens and our coop is connected to our run so the chickens can still come out and walk around and whatever, and sometimes we let them free range and we never let our dog out while the chickens are free ranging - we usually let our chickens out in the morning and put them back...

    the one we lost was 7-8 months, a australorpe, didn't move like at all the day befor she died and she seemed more willing to let us pick her up/she didn't run away nearly as fast as she usually does. We have four chickens in out coop and as far as we know no ventilation problems.

    Lethargic after rain storm

    I would suggest giving her a towel and keeping a thing of just water and a thing of water and electrolytes full at all times also keeping her inside and letting her have acess to food and a heat lamp. I would also suggest putting down doggy pee-pads and cabinet liner (too stop her from slipping)...
