Hello all I am new here!

My dogs have a huge 1 acre fenced in yard. They are actually great around the chickens! the chickens come into the dogs yard dailym, and the dogs just watch them. I was amazed, as I figured that the dogs would want to eat them! I have even had chickens walking on my dogs before. Crazy stuff!

I have a Bloodhound Lab mix, and a Saint Bernard.

Ours have the run of our big backyard all the time, except for the Silkies because they eat crumbles instead of egg pellets. Other than that, they're on their own 24/7! Makes gathering eggs an adventure at times, but they seem much happier this way and they're so fun to watch.

We've got Marans, Rhode Island Reds, Delawares, Welsummers, Silkies, one last Polish, and I really, really, REALLY want to get some standard true Araucanas. They're so hard to find, though! I'm getting frustrated but still searching...
