Savage Chickens Cartoon
Okay, this is not strictly related to my blog... actually it's not related to my blog at all, but I stumbled across the Savage Chickens blog today and I thought it was hilarious. I think this guy, Doug Savage, is as funny as Gary Larson.
If you really try hard, you could force yourself to pretend that the cartoon I linked to is related to my blog. But you'd have to work at it, and have an open mind, and know we're hoping to get our first chickens next month, and free range them.

Hey you should have put a warning on this post. I've been reading these chicken jokes for about 45mins. now and dinner isn't getting cooked. Pretty funny

Wow! Thanks for the Gary Larson comparison, Leslie!
And Kat, keep reading - you should just order pizza :)
I burned up a lot of time on these, too; love them! He beats Larson, because I understand Savage and I don't always 'get' Larson. Thanks for sharing!
I think it IS related. As you said, you are getting chickens. More importantly the cartoons are funny and I've bookmarked them.
OK now...You are getting chickens. Your chickens will be free-range. You have dogs. What will prevent the dogs from having free-range chicken dinner? I ask this because I've have had mixed results with chickens and dogs, but I'm determined to end up with a chicken guarding dog. I'm not there yet, or rather my dog is not there yet.
UA, the dog/chicken dilemma is easy for us. Our dogs are city dogs, pets. They're not working dogs at all, but they are good company and good watch dogs.
When we first moved here, they went up to the neighbors' house and knocked over some potted plants, chased off the cats, and backed the neighbor into his truck. He called us from his cell phone :( It was not the ideal situation for meeting your neighbors.
As a result of their escapades, they're on an invisible fence type thing. No buried cables, just a radio transmitter and collars. They can go about 90' from the transmitter and it's plugged into an outlet in the house. Works *great*. So the dogs can't get to the chicken house.
Plus we will introduce them to the chicks and try to teach them that the chicks are part of the family and not toys or prey. I think the Briard will be able to learn that, but I'm not sure about the German Shepherd. He's very prey-driven.
Could the chickens wander into the dogs' area and get chased or worse? I wonder if the chickens will learn just how far the dogs can go.
Please blog about any 'dogs with chickens' training you do. I'm really trying to make a chicken guardian dog out of my dog Kahlil. Walter at Sugar Mountain is fortunate to have his older dogs help train the new pups and has given me some advice. It's not something that anyone here in the inner suburbs knows much about. Here I'm oddity for even having my four laying chickens.
The chickens could wander into the area where the dogs roam, and get bitten, but hopefully we'll be able to train the dogs to not attach the chickens. Barring that, we'll hope the chickens learn to avoid the dogs.
I will post on how it goes, UA.
