I give mine a scoop of corn chops in the afternoon on the ground as scratch year round, this promotes foraging in the flock and twice a day in cold weather for body heat.
I don't mean to but into a conversation, I did not see where anyone suggested this. But the first thing I would do is teach her "LEAVE IT". its the first thing I teach and train before anything else. It can be a life saver to anything that runs from her if you are consistent in the training and its the easiest thing to teach. If your interested, ill tell you how do to it, if someone else has not. I have 1 weimariner, and 4 daschunds, 6 cats, and 2 kittens. Its a must for any dog to learn. It will also save her life if you drop anything like chocolate, which can be lethal do a dog if too much is consumed!
We went all the time when he was in Reeves. We went once in MB but no chickens so we didn't stay. They never went for much in Reeves; we got a FBCM pullet for $3, and roosters were usually $1 or so.
We prefer the auction in Kinder. It's the last Friday of the month and the one time we sold birds they went really high; $10 each for barnyard pullets and $20 each for sussex pullets. But we don't buy there often, because they always go so high.
