    Help! 3rd day with chickens ever and dog bite. 100% novice

    well good and bad news! my dog just went after her when she was in her closed off run... he was just playing with her but damn it scared the hell out of her. She wouldn't calm down for about 30 min so I decided to put her in with the rest of the flock (a day before i wanted to) No bullying yet...
