We had 3 dogs that mostly all got along with the chickens. The Lab would just lay around with the chickens. It was funny to see her in one of her dug out holes with chickens all around and on her sleeping. The older chowmix never found any interest in the chickens. If they came up to her she would get up and walk away. The chihuahua was the herder in the group. She had littledogitis. She would tease the roosters because she knew she could run faster than they could. They would think she wasn't looking and would go in for an attack and she would take off like a bullet just as one of them would get close enough to think he had her. It was a game to her. She never hurt or even touched any. When the chickens would wander out of the yard she would go and get them and heard them back to the yard. And when a stray or neighbor dog would come in the yard she would chase them out of the yard and all the way back to their yard while the 2 big dogs just stood there and watched. I wish I had a camcorder running when it happened because it was the funniest thing i've ever seen. Those bigger dogs would run with tail tucked as fast as they could. And she was fast too. She would be right on their heels the whole way.
Too funny!!!
