Careful with dogs. They are predators and have to be trained or kept apart from the chickens.

I never did. I have been reading it works to some extent with lonely chicks.

BTW, You doing great and I suspect you learn fast to be a superior caretaker .

i'm not going to get a dog. there are enough neighbours with dogs that i befriend that gives me a dog fix. lol! but that's as far as it will go.

i have a little 3 year old friend who has donated a tiny teddy bear to thelma. he will arrive soon. i'm not sure where i am supposed to put it. in case she's afraid of it, i don't want to put it in the coop first. i will have to figure that out. probably louise will steal it from her just because she's louise.

and thank you so much. i really am trying. i need to have some sort of routine. routines don't stick for me, so it will be a challenge.
