I was worried about our cats when we got our first bunch of chickens but after approaching a hen they were surprised and frightened when she charged them, wings out and feathers fluffed to make herself look bigger. We laughed so hard at those cats! They never approached the chickens again!Kathleen Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11551093555973581448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3504547252988171727.post-85291416507667003162012-04-29T18:36:15.248-07:002012-04-29T18:36:15.248-07:00It sounds like your chickens have a good life at y...It sounds like your chickens have a good life at your place ;) :) They are cute...and fluffy chicken butts are just funny to look at ;) :) Love and hugs from the ocean shores of California, Heather :)Heather's Blog-o-ramahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05490555197097928275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3504547252988171727.post-31326812642442093942012-04-29T09:41:17.580-07:002012-04-29T09:41:17.580-07:00I'm enjoying reading about your chickens--we c...I'm enjoying reading about your chickens--we can't have them in town, but I hope someday to live out where I can get a few.

One day my husband sadly told me he found feathers and bones. No geese. During the week our next door neighbor found two large dogs attacking and killing them. I grieved so much. I know you love the dog and the chickens...just be careful. Sometimes being protective is good. Also, my parents live next door to a family who had a chicken. It flew over the fence and lived in their yard. They loved it. Then it just disappeared..no one knows why..but they do fly. Just things to think about.Terryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03653233346490650316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3504547252988171727.post-65159573462573362622012-04-29T05:43:35.133-07:002012-04-29T05:43:35.133-07:00These pictures are sweet....This is how life shoul...These pictures are sweet....This is how life should be!

When I was a kid, both of my grandmothers had chickens but not in the yard where we played. (You'll find out it can be a problem for kids and chickens to be in the same grassy area.)

No Way! <br />But they all seem to get along. <br />My one dog did get a mouth full of chicken feathers ONE TIME...the only reason she is still breathing is because I saw what had happened. The chickens went into HER YARD and were eating HER FOOD. She is quite picky about her food. We don't let the kids outside with food for that reason.Because, well, ...she's a dog. And has dog -qualities. <br /><br />I bet if y'all are outside together...everybody will get along just fine. They (chicks) are fun to watch as they move about the yard. I bet they like the stretch too!<br />Enjoy! <br />PatPatricia @ 9th and Denverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04786692442689958889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3504547252988171727.post-38512207647759930712012-04-28T11:42:33.818-07:002012-04-28T11:42:33.818-07:00Such a cute post.

Yet, I know many people with dogs and chickens and they do fine. Unless it is just the dogs disposition. I wouldn't trust a dog right away if it is a hyper dog...they may wish to play with what is moving out there, out of instinct or out of play not realizing what they are doing it can go into attack mode, but hopefully just curiosity. Thank you also for your sweeet prayers. P.S The girls have grown...my goodness they lost all their baby fluff...That was fast!

I really think you will get a lot more enjoyment out of them if they are where you can see them. Just think of the nutrients they are getting by being allowed to forage for bugs and grass. Not to mention the sunshine that is needed for healthy egg production! Another bit plus is the fertilizer that they are leaving behind on the lawn!! <br />I hope you come up with the perfect solution that suits you. Also, the big dog, the one you are worried about...may not actually try to kill them, but could possibly kill them accidentally just by playing with them. Birds are not very hearty creatures. I am happy that I have been able to help a little.<br />: ) KrisKrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15578853096888320012noreply@blogger.com
