    Ticks

    Thanks to everyone for the ideas and input. The other day I saw one of the chickens picking something off one of the dogs while he was asleep. Im hoping it was a tick. We are treating the dogs and hoping this takes care of the issue. Thanks again!!!

    Ticks

    I just found that my dogs have ticks. Will they get on the chickens as well? My girls are free to roam the yard so if I use poison to kill the ticks on the yard the hens will get into it too. Anyone have any ideas? Will the hens eat the ticks. Worried!!!

    Dog Does not like hens.

    I have a dog that has been with our family for 6 years. She is Shepard/Lab mix. She does fine with other dogs but not with cats. On Monday morning one of my hens flew out of the chicken run and into the backyard and the dog got it and killed it. Any suggestions other than getting rid of the dog?

    Quick Question!

    I read somewhere that the tomatoe plants are deadly to the chickens. But I just moved and have a huge oleander bush that shades my chicken run. Does anyone know if they are poisonous to the hens?
