The kids love them Shanti, they just want to spend so much time with them and the chooks are quite good with them now, they follow the kids to the chicken hotel and once i've picked them up will let the girls hold them

It's cute!! DD1 who is 3, carries the small ancona bantams around as they are super placid and they have been put down the slide on her lap, pushed in the dolls pram, you name it!! Lol! She loves them.
We got them when she was 14mths..and the novelty has never worn off. DD2 who is nearly 1 is just becoming interested now and she kisses them lol

QUICK QUESTION:
Does anyone have chickens AND dogs?
In the 'burbs?
We've got a block around 1000 squares, about half of which is out back yard. We have 2 dogs (a westie/bichon frisse and a schnauser/poodle) and we're thinking of getting chickens, and a veggie patch.
TIA

My labrador dogs have always lived peacefully with my chooks. The only prob has been the dogs getting the eggs before us. Alot of other people find they have to seperate them though. Can you build a chook run?

Ours were living peacefully together (chickens in their paddock & dogs wandering around) until our border collie x kelpie decided her rounding up skills surfaced again
No matter how trust worthy i would still plan on having a dog proof run, if you don't need to use it then great but just in case you do.
