    My chickens have become aggressive towards my dog

    What in the world.... I come outside every morning to let the dog out, and every single time there’s coop, running full speed at Bama (the dog) trying to attack him. This morning, she came running up onto the porch at him, and was met by the infamous broom to shoo her away. (I feel terrible...

    My dogs love to eat my chickens... food!

    3 month old Hangin Tree Dog (seems heavy on the Catahoula) puppy killed one of my girls
