    How would one inctroduce Dogs to Chicks

    They are very well behaved normally, but they ARE dogs. I am worried that if they did by chance go after them I would not be able to stop them, they are very large.

    How would one inctroduce Dogs to Chicks

    I have two Leonberge dogs who are my darling loves. We will be hatching chicks this spring in hope of having a flock of 10 hens and a cockerel on our estate. What is the best way to introduce our dogs to the new feathered additions of the family? The birds and the dogs will be free range.
