Welcome to BYC! That sounds like a beautiful assortment of chicks to be watching. It’s great they have a doggy friend too.

Hi Everyone!

My wife and I bought a small chicken coop from Tractor Supply thinking we’re only going to have 8 chickens or so. We kept adding to our flock, so I purchased a large coop that was advertised locally. At this time, we have 7 hens and 16 chicks. We have: Rhode Island Red, Light Brahma, Jersey Giant, Buff Orpington, white Leghorn, Java, Americauna, black and gold laced Wyandotte, Cornish Rock, Barred Rock, Crested Polish, Dominique and others. We have a Red Heeler mix and two cats. All our animals are female. The dog and one of the cats love watching the chickens and will round them up when I want them back in their yard. My dog will deny this, but I’ve seen her sleeping behind the coop (in the shade) with a R.I. red snuggled up to her sleeping. My cats do not bother them.​

Hi, and welcome from Southeast Missouri! I sure wish my dog was tolerant of the chickens. She's part beagle, and part spaniel. She chases things down and eats them, or tries to bring them into the house. Ugh. So no cuddling with the chickens at my house. I hope you enjoy your time here. Its a very helpful community.
