Hi, can anyone give me any advice on dogs and chickens. My lab barked at my ladies for 3wks soiled when they first arrived. When he finally gave up and the ladies where no longer taking any notice of him, I decided to try and introduce them all. I had my dog on the lead and let the ladies out......now I am convinced he licks his lips when he gets near them. It is only one he looks like he is licking his lips at the other he just walks past. I am to scared to let him of the lead just in case he hurts one. My friends dog is in the garden with her hens all day, I would love for mine to do the same.
