That's kind of funny. I was going to comment on this thread about my situation (quail and two pomeranian mix dogs) but I figured that no one was having trouble with their tiny dogs and chickens. Guess I was wrong!Chihuahua is my biggest concern…. We had the chicks in the bathroom for weeks before it got warm enough for them to stay out and the big dogs never paid them much attention. Different story for the chihuahua….
We've kept quail inside for various reasons (raising chicks, injured quail) and our dogs will sniff them, but then ignore or even avoid them. They understand very well that we, the Humans, get upset whenever they show interest in a quail, so they're both very avoidant of the birds...despite one of them despising flying things and having "attacked" ducks before (he made no attempt to bite, just ran over some wild ducklings and scattered them, then came back looking so proud), and despite being fed parts when we butcher quail.
