    My hen has beef with the dogs

    I’m not sure why. And I’m not sure how to fix it. I have a blue sapphire hen who’s around a year old. She’s not aggressive to any other birds, animals, or people. She just for some reason hates my younger dog. Both my dogs leave the chickens alone and she doesn’t have a problem with my older dog...
