Our boxer (Max) who is one yr old and loaded with energy got out by my chickens this morning...we always keep
him IN the house while the hens are free ranging and this morning my
son looked out the window and seen him running in circles by the
chickens and yells "THE DOG IS OUT" I run downstairs, as did he (our
main floor is upstairs) and we threw on our shoes and out the door we
ran. Yelled for Max and here he comes running with foam in his mouth
and panting like a crazy dog! I didn't even want to go see what he
did. I have 15 chickens freeranging...so we walked down there and
started counting...all 15 were there all 15 were FINE! WHEW! I think
he was just having fun playing with them and chasing them around. My
only laying hen laid an egg minutes after! LOL This is a dog that
plays with a hot dog before he sits down and SLOWLY eat it. He's a
strange dog.
Oh man did that make me sick to my stomach!

I am glad that he didn't get any of them. You were lucky. He had been doing a lot of running though to be foaming at his mouth. If he had not of watched them from babies growing up he would have probably caught them. Helen

Thank God no chickens were hurt, but I don't think Max would hurt them. He just wanted to play. I bet the chickens got their exercise running from him! LOL

WHEW! I am SO SO glad Max was not hurting them! I forgot to mention that I watched that crazy video of him and that twirly thing toy, I laughed so hard! I had to call Ian and Shelby both to come look at it. They were grinnin and laughing along with me! He is a nutty dog! LOL.
Uh-oh, Max scared the egg out of her!!! Okay, poor joke but seriously I am so happy to hear he didn't hurt any of them. I bet your poor little heart was racing a zillion miles an hour. Ironically, our farm hand left our chicken door OPEN on Friday. It was raining hard and I guess she was rushing to get out of the rain and forgot to close the door. Thank goodness it was raining or they would have been out. We have too many predators around to let ours free range. When they did free range it was not uncommon to lose at least 1 if not more a day. Happy ending for both of us. :)

Max is such a good boy. He really is.
Take care and Hugs, Chrissie
