Dog poop and chickens

[ckhn777]

Hello, so my backyard is shared by my 2 chickens and 2 dogs. My concern is, will the eggs be safe to eat if the chickens spend their time pecking in grassy areas where the dogs also poop?

They'll be fine, chickens eat all sorts of things, cows eat grass and hay sitting in a field with other manure and I've never had a steak that tastes like anything other than steak

The eggs will be fine. Considering what chickens eat while free ranging - they will eat horse poop, cow poop, dead animals and so forth - so a bit of dog poop won't be a problem.
