Graham is good dog - he is a rescue that we got 2 years ago from a rescue group in Dayton, Oh. His only issue is that he has seizures and is now on two meds to help control them. The chickens seem to like him and he takes all their attention without giving them any trouble. I was concerned...
Yesterday I was taking my 3 year old Golden Retriever Graham for a short stroll around my property. When we walked by the coop my chickens followed Graham and continued to follow him until we stopped in the front yard. Graham could not have been less interested in the birds. I am pleasantly...

Last November my wife, youngest son, and myself ditched the suburbs and moved to the country of northern Delaware County, Ohio. The house we purchased had a very nice chicken coop on the property so we decided to get some chicks to raise for eggs. I bought 6 Barred Rocks and 6 Rhode Island...
