I just wanted to share what I am experiencing with my pup right now...
She is in the process of being trained to be good with my chickens, I have meaties and younger chickens for egg laying and are not fully grown yet....
She will sniff my meaties and be gentle with them I can sit and hand feed them with her sitting by my side and watching, but my smaller birds are faster and more flighty and she wants them BAD!
So for my dog the smaller birds are something different for her. She has only been with us for a month and is still learning so she is not perfect and still young, so you may experience something different with your neighbor dogs.
