Just read to the kidlets for over an hour and they're all passed out in bed. Guess I kept reading a little too long

Good idea!

Thanks. I taught my dogs to protect the chickens so when free ranging if i have to get something to drink, or go potty i don't have to stress about hawks or neighbor cats.

you need a dog that has been raised with chickens from time it was a puppy that can be out with them and keep the hawks away. 

My dog was raised around chickens Ya know what he'd say to the hawk? Glad you could join me for LUNCH! Chicken appetizer and HAWK as the main course! Lol
Tucker loves birds! (2eat)

Yeah dogs take a lot of time, and cost a lot in food and supplies.

What breed? there are some breeds that are better then others for having around chickens. The breed mix's i have i would never suggest others use for it. Mine have been taught to respect the chickens. I feed my dogs raw meat and when eating outside if a chicken takes their food they run to me to whine about it because they aren't allowed to do anything about it.

If I only have one dog outside, they watch better. If both are out, they would prefer to play, unless something land based enters the property. Then they are after it.

My dogs work well together. One snoozes while the other is eating grass and bugs with the chickens.

Tucker is a chocolate lab/ golden retriever mx he's a good dog. He's chased all the song birds since he was a pup. To him a bird is a bird. He does great when we' re home but if one flys outta of their coup he what's to put it back! He hasn't had much luck though!

Anyone have or know of anyone who has snowy calls? I've been looking for snowy call duck eggs like crazy and it seems like no one has any besides mixed colors!

Just thought I'd ask my fellow Washingtonians.
