Is this a Good Dog Breed for Chickens?

(Or does my chicken have a death wish?)

What a cute picture!!! What kind of dog is that?!? As far as I can tell from the picture, it looks to be ok with the chicken, unless of course it got very angry after the picture was taken!!

How sweet is that!

EVERYONE must get along at my house... if not...

How cute! True love!

This is Natalie -- she's a 12-year-old part Cattle Dog mix and nothing much ruffles her feathers. For reasons known only to her she hates HATES my next door neighbor and I trust her judgment on that. Once upon a time I stole her from bad people (she was the 4th dog this family had had in 6 mos. -- she has been thanking me for the favor ever since.) And no she did not growl or snarl or get angry with the chicken, Phoebe.

Natalie's the best!

Looks like Natalie ate fast tho, so nothing for chicken. I wouldn't push her buttons anyway, even an angel can only take so much.

Love it! I used to have guineas that ate out of the catfood bowl, with the cats! Don't you just love it when everybody gets along...

Guineas and cats -- that's a happy combination too.

That bowl is empty because they both gobbled it up so fast.

My other dog would happily hand over her ratty ol' dog food -- she sure wouldn't share any of the "mix ins" -- tuna, steak, chicken. But Natalie would... Lord only knows why.
