Our five-six month old girls were not staying home or together.. They will come when called but not a safe siuation because they were going far... Fenced them in and got four eggs the first day! They were in no danger and were not looking for shelter, they just wander... Why???
We have six chicks and our dog Jenny is very protective and interested in the babies, should we be concerned? She only watches and smells and licks them gently..
