Hey all. So Thursday we should be picking this guy up. We have 3 acres of land, and currently four 3 week old pullets and three 3 week old ducklings. They’re still inside in their brooders. This guy has been growing up around chickens and goats, with a working family. So I’m not worried about his head start, but what I’m wondering about is the fact that our poultry won’t be outside for a bit. Is there still a way to introduce them and have them interact regularly that’ll allow him to behave properly around them and bond to them? Or will this cause serious issues? All advice and tips would be greatly appreciated!

Take him around them, with very close eye at least occasionally. Allow him around them as close as possible with a fence in between. Our chickens are within the pasture with electric netting around them. So, the netting keeps everyone safe… Also, if your dog can access where your chickens lay(mine have been obnoxious for years and just lay throughout the barn…), the will likely develop a taste for eggs…
