Fizzywitch is where we got our rescued chickens - pretty poor state when we got them but thriving now.
We have 3 dogs and all are afraid of the chickens, as are our cats!!!
The chickens give the dogs and cats some right auld pecks...ha ha.
Its important that you introduce the chickens to the dogs slowly. Keep the chickens behind wire for about a week or so. Dogs can go up and look and smell chickens. The novelty soon wears off but make sure you keep dogs on a lead for a day or so when chickens are eventually let out.
Such a great sight to see dogs, cats and hens all wandering around together.
If you are at ease when introducing dogs to chickens they will sense this and will be relaxed. Dogs pick up on your emotions.
Best of luck
