You live under a 5-Hen-0-Rooster limit law so you start searching for a place in the country so as to increase your flock size

...when you take the kids to McDonald's for breakfast, you get eggs you didn't want on your sandwich so you bring them home to feed to your chickens.

I Could see myself doing that!!!! If I could guarantee the dogs and the chickie would get along! LOL

Most of our animals have gotten on great while in the house. Beware anything that goes in the chain link fenced dog yard though. Most won't make it thru the nite - even if no bite marks, just harassed...

The 5 dogs (ranging from 12#s to 80#s) and the various house/barn cats know all about our water/vinegar squirt bottles in the house and water hoses/fancy water guns outside!
