. My daughter and son-in-law got a new puppy recently. They come over every Sunday to eat dinner and always bring the pup. A husky. When she was small she was a bit intimidated by the chickens who I let free range often. But she is growing fast and, now, wants to chase them. It causes havoc and I fear for my chickens metal and physical health. Great article & great advice! Thanks for taking the time to write it!
