    Best Dogs w/Chickens

    My Shepard is laid back around my girls as well. Our Chihuahua has been avoiding them usually, but yesterday he charged at a couple of them when they got too close to the wife. Jealous little mutt...

    Hi there. I've been following backyardchickens.com ever since before we got our chicks 12 weeks ago. I'm glad I spent the time learning what I could before that, so as to avoid mistakes that could have been negligent to our birds. I keep up with the forums, you guys are awesome at helping each...
