    HELP! My dog chases my chickens.

    I know it sounds brutal and inhumane but get a shock collar, crank it on high and knock Hazel on her butt everytime she chases a bird but allow her to be around them under your supervision like when you're gathering eggs, releasing and penning them up, etc. It doesn't take long for a smart dog...

    Lights in coop to deter predators?

    Bobcat

    Make sure your coop roof is secure and consider a guardian dog. you will see signs if the cat tries to dig under but cats are not known to be diggers. They can climb about anything and have a huge jump span. Deterrents work well to start but will fade or be outsmarted, a dog learns quick and...
