New chicks overly interested dog...Help!

[NaJaLeHa]

I think once the chicks are a little bigger and faster I won't be as nervous, but defiantly think our dog needs some work.

We have the exact opposite going on here. Our dog completely ignores chicks but he wants the older chickens. I don't let him near them. We fenced in part of our back yard with dog kennel panels to make a large run for him right outside the back door. That's where he stays unless all of the birds are locked inside their coops and/or runs. Even when he's let loose he's never by himself so I can keep an eye on what he's doing. He also likes to go sniff around and watch the rabbits and I don't need freaked out rabbits breaking their own necks trying to escape. He isn't loose often, usually in the fenced yard or on leash. We also have a road in front of the house that folks like to fly down going 70mph for some reason and while he's never tried to go into the street I don't trust him with those stupid drivers.

That's good to know, we have one dog that ignores the chicks as well (only interested in there food bag) but will watch him more closely as they get older! The other 2 however whine and one actually got on the pen and we are now nursing one chick back to help! Be careful, playfulness can turn real fast!
