I feel like we are to blame, not her. We love her and she is very sweet. I only work 3 hours a day so I have lots of time to work with this issue with her. My other dog (who is 12) is 1/2 Aussie 1/2 Huskey is great with the chickens. She would even sleep next to the brooder in the house. She has never ever hurt anything in her life. Having a puppy is so hard!

Thank you for all your replies. The 1st thing we will need to do is move her kennel. She is right next to the chickens. I actually thought that she being near them that would get her used to them better. Then I will follow your advice on training her. And your right, she was just playing with them like she does her toys (I'm sure!). She does crate well indoors so I guess we can use that for now. Thank you so much.

Liz P Yes Yes!!! I need help! I feel like it's my fault for not teaching her about the chickens. We got out there every day (with her on a leash) and I tell her "NO" as soon she she trys to chase them. But that's all I know how to do. I am in tears over this. I love Saide, I want to help her. Please tell me what I can do.

I feel sick..... Our BC puppy was born 12/17/10 and we have had her for about 5 weeks. We live on a farm and have about 15 chickens. Sadie (the puppy) is inside with us when we are home. Someone is home all day except for droping kids off at school and erands. When we are gone Saide is in an outdoor 10x10x10 kennel. Toady she broke the latch and got out and attacked and mauled our flock. She killed one (a baby) and I have 4 that might not survive. The ones that are not hurt, are all shook up. My husband came home and saw feathers all over the proprety. Sadie was in the feed bin with one co

Our other dog is 12 and I don't remember much of the puppy stage. Sadie was born 12-17-10 and we have had her for 3 weeks. She sleeps next to our bed in a crate but she still wakes up 2-3 times a night to go to the bathroom plus she is up for good at 5:30 a.m. I feel like I have a newborn baby again! So how long until she can sleep all night? I pull her food at 6:00 p.m. and her water at 7:00 p.m. We usually go to bed around 9:30-10 p.m. Help! How long will this last??? My two girls....
