Thanks for the link. We just hate the idea of anything happening to our animals (our dogs are chipped, have cameras, Crumb tags and cellular GPS trackers) so it seemed like a way to protect them, but i hadn't thought about the added risks as well as how they prevent some normal behaviors. I think we'll do a combination of treat training to go in when we call them and a chicken tractor for when we can't be outside.

Thanks!

And before it gets asked, our dogs (2 beagles and a black lab) won't have access to the chickens at all.

Adult dogs are trainable just takes longer.I trained a Basset hound and medium size hound mix.

Lacy flew on top of a house to escape from a pack of dogs that killed her flock mates. One dog was chasing her up there or we wouldn't have known she needed saving .We witnessed it from across the street. I will always be a hero in Lacys eyes but the real hero is the guy that got her off the edge of the roof and handed her to me.I chased the dogs off and stuffed her under my shirt and carried her home with me.

They had galvanized steel nest boxes (the commercial kind)from the ceiling to the floor in their shed but never gathered the eggs.Most of them were full of blue green and blue eggs
