Only 8 today. But one of our dogs got hold of one and it broke and now he has tasted egg. Now I have to keep the gates shut and no more free ranging for the birds until I can set up the electric fencer and convince him eggs bite.

Our other dog, Gracie, is 11 years old and will bring us eggs if the hens (pullets) lay out of the hen house. Sammy is young and ... stupid. Both are Shelties.

Shelties are beautiful. My dogs are so weird, they seem to understand baby chicks are not to be harmed… but will chase the adult birds.

My Gracie mostly leaves the adult birds alone, except for the occasionsl game of Bowling for Chickens, but the babies get her really excited and I don't completely trust her with them. I supervise and limit her exposure to them. Sammy apparently couldn't care less about any of them, as long as they share the scratch and poop.

I totally don’t trust the dogs either, but they are really super mellow about the babies, even if they get out and fly and jump on them… so weird my terriers are all okay babies no chase, no bite but once they are big adults chase them…

Not enough meat on a baby, maybe? Lol, jk. Who knows? Dogs are almost as weird as cats.

Ain’t that the truth BigBlueHen53

Our old dogs never chased the chickens at all… the first chicken weever owned bonded With them, so even after we got more birds she refused to sleep with the rest of the flock, she slept in the dog house with the dogs… what ever the dogs did she was right there with them… and beyond jealous if she didn’t get pets too… yep she was a dog in her head, and the dogs seemed to think she was a dog too…
