(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?

New to chickens this year got them in May but have been looking at them for a while.

I have 8 chickens (2 cockerels and 6 hens)

(3) What breeds do you have?

I do not know all the breeds but the cockerels are Leghorn and RIR. Hens are BO, Blue Andalusion, Possible Delaware, and Possible Australorp.

(4) How did you find out about BackYardChickens.com?

I was searching for ideas for my chicken coop and searched chickens on google.

(5) What are some of your other hobbies?

I like to drink beer.

(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share.

I have a wife and an 18 yr old at home and dogs. I am a shift supervisor at Waltrich Plastic in Walthourville, Ga.
 
Hello and Welcome to BackYardChickens!

Wow, with 7 dogs, you're really going to need to make your coop dog proof. Dogs luv chickens!

You might want to bury at least a foot of fencing in the ground around the run to thwart diggers or put a hot wire a few inches above the ground all around the perimeter.

Thank you. The 7 dogs are Baloo my Chow-mation and she is just interested in them, Papi Chihuahua, Mocha Chihuahua, and their 4 puppies. 2 puppies I am keeping and one is already promised out. Baloo stays in the back yard, which is completely fenced in, unless one of us lets her out and then she has to stay with us. The Chihuahuas i am afraid that if they tried something Fog Horn would rip them a new one quickly.
I did put the fencing around the coop in the ground 1 foot to help with predator protection. So far I have not had any problems but we will see what happens in the future.
