I used to have horses back when I was out in the country... now it's just chickens and dogs for me in the suburbs *sigh*

I've found that introducing your dogs to the chicks/chickens and teaching them the Leave It command can greatly improve their relationship. It's when you try to keep them separate at all costs that problems arise (the curiosity is just too much to handle!)
There's also a few suggestions in this thread:
How did YOU train dogs to leave chickens alone?

Best wishes!

Welcome to Backyard Chickens, Brandi! We are glad you joined the flock! BYC is a helpful site providing all of the information you need to know about poultry. There is always space for members on the BYC roost! Hope you enjoy it here as much as we all do!

Hi, Brandi, and welcome to BYC. You will need to closely monitor the interactions between your dogs and chickens.

Welcome to BYC. I'm pretty certain you will find information about raising chickens with horses and with herding dogs on this website. It's just a matter of using the 'search' button at top of the BYC screen. I hope you find answers to your concerns, and I hope you find BYC fun, too.
