I don't worry about my dog, she's been around chicks for a while. They usually follow her around the yard like she's their momma. Now the cats, I'm still nervous. I'm hoping to only have to keep them in here another day or so. Their momma kept walking out of the coop and leaving them, I'm...
We have 9 chicks in a rubbermaid brooder. We brought them im thursday and had been keeping an eye on our 2 cats. My pit had been guarding the chicks and wouldn't let the cats near them. Well, last night my dog came to sleep in our room. Hubby woke me up at 6:30 this morning and said that...
