Just make sure he has a nice shelter, plenty of slack to stretch his legs, and fresh water in the mean time. A comfy bed helps too. :) So glad to hear you kept him.

It is wrong for dogs to run amok. But it isn't the dog's fault. Its the owners fault. Call the authorities to pick them up and place them in a shelter. Put up a deterrent. I'm sure foxes, coyotes, and other things could get in too if the dogs got in. Up security is what I'm suggesting. There are...

Thank you so much for bringing up pasty butt. I looked it up and am now fully aware of what it is and how to treat it. So many good tips!

Hopefully, training the dogs to be kind and gentle will go over smoothly. Thanks for the warm welcome! :)

I just googled what Corid is for. I'm so sorry you've lost one. That does bring to mind the risk of getting new chicks. They would share a yard where my dogs poddy. I wonder if they could spread anything to my fur babies? Or when I have them in the brood crate in the house. New worries!

Hello all. I'm fairly new to the chicken game but I've always loved animals and am looking forward to this hobby. I've got a nice fence all plotted out. 4x4 posts and a 5ft tall horse fence ( the rectangular linked kind ) and about 50 sq ft of wiggle room is successfully constructed in my back...

I know it really is awful that the dogs keep getting to your chickens but please, please, please don't hurt the dogs. Its really the owners fault. I would consider electric fencing around the perimeter of the fence. It should deter dogs and any other predator from the chickens. If that isn't an...
