New Member here to learn before getting chickens

[DobieLover]

Hello, Connie, and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.

I'm more worried about hawks and other furry predators than my personal dogs and guest dogs.

I don't permit my dogs and chickens to intermingle either. I keep my flock behind electrified poultry netting that encloses 1/3 acre. I've never had a ground predator loss in the pen and after 4 years, only one loss to a hawk. Many attempts but there is a lot of cover in the pen and always at least one rooster on the look out to sound the alarm.
