Crossing the Road
We have two dogs currently, and are putting our chicks outside this weekend. They have a large secure run with 1/2 in hardware cloth, and eventually will be able to range inside a 6ft welded wire fence when they get bigger. Our dogs have access to the property on an invisible fence, but cannot access the garden or coop. One dog isn’t really interested in the chickens and seems to ignore them when we are working with them or holding them. The other dog stares out the window and whines/barks if they are outside with us. I am wondering if anyone has any tips on how to get the dog to not obsess at the chicks. The dogs will never have direct access to the chickens, but I don’t want him to just sit there and bark all day (and I’m sure the neighbors wouldn’t appreciate that either.) I also don’t want to scare the chickens. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
