The Complete Guide to Introducing Chickens and Dogs<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Anyone who has owned both dogs and chickens know that they have completely different personalities and care needs. However, these owners also know that, despite their differences, dogs and chickens can get along great! This guide will cover the key steps to introducing new chickens to the family dog, or a new dog to a pre-established flock of chickens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consider space needs<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Both chickens and dogs need\nplenty of room to roam; keep this in mind when determining where to place a\ncoop or where the dog\u2019s play area will be in the backyard. For the first few\ndays, it is critical that the dog and the chickens have separate territories.\nThis way they can become familiar with the new scents and sights without being\noverstimulated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next, determine where the\nintroductions will take place. It is best to keep it on neutral ground so that\nnone of the animals become territorial. For instance, do not have the\ninteraction inside the chicken run. Plus, the animals will need somewhere they\nfeel safe to retreat to if the first interaction is stressful or exhausting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make sure all pets are healthy<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Lice, fleas, ticks<\/a>, and worms are a few of the dangers that can spread between both dogs and chickens. Inspect all pets for any signs of parasites or illnesses before the introduction to be sure they will not make each other sick. Additionally, unhealthy animals often feel more stressed or vulnerable, so ensuring they are all healthy will also ensure a calmer meeting. If unsure how to check for health issues, schedule an appointment with a veterinarian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep them restrained<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After the dogs and chickens have gotten familiar with seeing each other and smelling each other, they are ready to meet up for the first time. During this meeting, it is essential that proper boundaries are established for several reasons. Number one, some dogs may be overly playful or aggressive towards the chickens and could hurt them. Number two, some chickens establish pecking orders<\/a>, and they may try to put the dog in his place. Different breeds of dogs and chickens are less prone to these behaviors, however owning a specific breed will not guarantee a peaceful relationship. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are a couple ways to ensure a positive first interaction. First, consider keeping the dog and the chickens separated by a fence. This way they can interact without the risk of hurting each other. Another method is to keep the dog on a leash, while holding the chickens. When using this method, only introduce one to three chickens at a time so the dog doesn\u2019t get overwhelmed. This is a great way to maintain control over the interaction, however certain breeds of chickens won\u2019t react well to being held, so make sure the chickens are comfortable with this before starting the introductions. Additionally, make sure the leash is not too tight or short so that the dog does not feel restrained or vulnerable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep the numbers small<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When introducing pets, one\nof the biggest problems that can occur is overstimulation. When the pets are\nintroduced to each other, they are also being introduced to some drastic life\nchanges. Having too many distractions, too many noises, or especially too many\nanimals leads to overstimulation, which in turn leads to stress-induced\noutbursts because there are too many new things happening all at once. To avoid\nstress from overstimulation, the best thing to do is limit interactions to two\nor three animals during the first meeting, then gradually increase the number\nover the course of multiple meetings. Another option is to rotate which\nchickens are interacting with the dog; this is faster and prevents the chickens\nfrom being overstimulated, however the dog may get socially exhausted from this\nmethod. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use commands and training methods<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, chickens are\nnot very trainable, but dogs are! Using the commands that the dog already knows\ncan make the introduction go much smoother. Tell the dog to \u201csit\u201d\nor stay,\u201d<\/a> and give little rewards for good behavior. If the dog is getting\nvery aggressive, consider using a noise maker to alert him that the behavior is\nwrong. If the dog is anxious or timid, use affirmations and pet him gently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even though chickens cannot be trained, per se, their behavior can be swayed. Some chickens, like dogs, may respond positively to being petted or to receiving treats. Plus, staying calm during the interaction will help the animals to stay calm!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consider the age of the chickens\n<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There is a big difference\nbetween baby chicks and adult hens. Adult hens are generally easier to care for\nand are much safer to introduce to dogs since adults are less fragile. If\nintroducing a dog to chicks, wait until the chicks are at least 7-8 weeks old;\nthis way, the chicks will be fully feathered and can be kept outside. Then,\nmake the introductions gradual, starting with just one chick. Let the dog sit,\nwhile cupping the chick with both hands. This can be done repeatedly with\nmultiple chicks until they start to become comfortable with one another. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Introducing chickens to a\ndog while they are still baby chicks can promote a stronger bond between the\nanimals. Just be sure to never leave them unattended to ensure safety. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chickens and dogs may be\nraised and cared for differently, but that does not mean they won\u2019t get along.\nBy doing research before introducing them and staying calm and collected during\nthe process, chickens and dogs can become close friends.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
