The outdoor run construction is coming along and Rip is still diligently guarding the 14 week-olds. It cracks me up how proud and happy he is of this flock.
 
I will name him George said:
Hey, hi all. Wanted chickens for years, but was waiting til I retired. In April, an escaped dog killed my friend's carefully curated flock. My husband thought he was being clever and bought 10 hens for my birthday- to give to the slaughtered-hen neighbor to take care of and give us eggs (so I wouldn't need my own). Well, that's not the way it works, right? In the meantime, said neighbor decided to incubate the eggs on her counter, and the result was 14 chicks. I now have the crossbred chicks (13 weeks) and the neighbor is keeping my birthday flock. I also have a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever (Duck Toller) that is very protective of this flock; they are his little babies. Photo is him stunned by the peeping chicks. This is gonna be an adventure, right?
