Kdog, just go slow with the chick introduction. Use the leash and gauge how the pup reacts. You will know what to do. As for patrol training not hard to that either. My dogs were trained to stay in my land within 2 days. Just use a long leash rolled short in your hand. Walk him around your perimeter, treat for NOT leaving the area. Keep doing that with more lead out of your hand. Once again, patience and consistency are critical to dog training. Smart working dogs catch on quick though.
He, sometimes your writing is spastic. But it reminds me of me, many years younger. You will be great chick-mama. Just breathe and enjoy your critters. All if God's critters are tougher than humans give them credit for.
P.S. auto-correction is a real pain.

I'll try all those tips! I worry though that he will bust through if he sees something. That's how he ran away before, he would be really good 99% of the time and then he would see or hear something and run off. Always came back but he's a big dog. I guess i will just have to pay attention though and go slow. Also, do you think I should just teach him to stay in the yard? I worry that the woods I won't be able to see and know where he is and plus since we don't own all the woods and have close neighbors on the back that the boundary line could be muddled, I mean dogs don't exactly necessarily know the difference between one tree from the tree next to it or understand that the tree next to it isn't ours. I guess it can be taught, like you said, but I don't know, I just worry it's not a clear enough line and not sure I want him going there anyway whereas grass into woods is a very clear and distinct line. I don't know. Anyway, thank you very much. I'll definitely work on that.
