Thanks everyone. These forums are so cool. A bit more about me. I am a dog groomer and work in Memphis. The toomanydogs number seven and are a Doberman, German Shepherd, Lab, Pointer mix, Malamute/Akita mix, Pomeranian mix and something black and furry that showed up on the back porch one day. Maybe some sort of retriever/Chow mix but after two surgeries and heartworm treatment i think she's here to stay. I have showed them in Obedience and conformation before and think showing chickens would be fun to eventually get into. There is also a 18 year old cat, a pony and a couple fish tanks and a small parrot. Oh year there's also the SO who is almost as chicken crazy as I am. One of the first things I have learned from the chickies is who knew they were stalkers? They are as good at mooching treats as the dogs are.
