Chicken Tips - Take a Tip, Leave a Tip

[scooter147]

When you get a new puppy and you take her to the chicken coop daily so everyone gets to know everyone and everyone knows we all belong to the same flock/pack. DO NOT AND I REPEAT DO NOT let the puppy follow you into the coop and then take the broody hen (the one you don't want to set eggs) off the nest and put her on the floor of the coop in sight of a canine. WOW, you know what has no fury like a broody hen protecting her nest.

Lulu who is now five still doesn't trust a single chicken alive.

Sounds like a good idea to me! That way the dog doesn't think chickens are toys.

Keep your mouth closed while scraping the roosts, or poop boards, and/or while you're cleaning up the sand or litter in the coop.

It's a cloth piece that you put on the hens, they wear it so the roosters don't tear them up too much during rough mating.
