We used to have a seasonal campsite & there were chickens running wild all around us. I didn't mind them at all. But I have little Shih Tzu dogs. I had those chickens attack my dogs a few times. I brought the largest one(of my 5) down one weekend. He went walking down the path & next thing I saw was Rags being chased by roosters. I never saw him run that fast in my life. After awhile the dogs & those chickens got along just fine. I've had large dogs & now small & the only dog I ever had that killed a bird was an Akita. She didn't last long with us. Each time my husband would pick up our daughter as a baby she would go nuts so she went to live with her co owner. Thankfully she didn't have any birds.

we were given 3 chickens a couple months ago. We built a nice little coop and run for them. We live in a neighborhood on a 50x100 lot, and I’m sure chickens are off the pet list, but no one’s complained so far. We wanted them for eggs, but we’re really enjoying them! I’d like to have more, but that would really be pushing it. who knows what’s going to happen to the economy, so chickens were on my list. By the way, our dogs play with them some, and our cat sits on my lap and mostly ignores them when they’re wandering the yard. Amazing how animals in the same family can be “friends”.

I turned my chickens loose on a wounded dog once. He lived a lot longer than he wanted I’ll wager. Chickens will eat anything and blood gets them stirred up

A buddy of mine with a gentleman's farm used to skin his chickens rather than pluck them, less work. He'd throw the skin and feathers back into the chicken coop and they'd pluck it clean.

Well I don’t want no dog doo in my chicken.

Even more amazing when one of those animals is a cat! My cat does not like anyone. She acts like the thug of our yard, but we know she is afraid of the birds that come around to feed, even little finches. Finches!
