Uuuuugh. It depends. Everytime someone brings me a chicken from the local feed store here scaley freaking legs mites. If you buy off craigslist your risking getting some fixer uppers or making any chickens you own at the moment sick or introducing something as annoying as scaley leg mites. I...
Yes they can. He will be a great dog but he is definitely not cut out for being around any type of farm animal or small prey type animal. He wanted them all chickens,rabbit,turtle,pigs,cats. I enjoyed the time spent with him but he wouldn't be a dog that I would willingly adopt. He was adopted...
