We keep them separated with a fence and an electic hot wire (which is pretty redundant these days as she knows the rules) as if given the chance she would play with them till they got stressed and died. She would just herd them and play pounce and release. As out hens have a very large run we do not let them in the yard. But when we have taken Jessie to visit friends who have free ranging chickens she was far more interested in playing with their dog and in hanging out with the humans rather than being focused on the chickens. That being said I would not leave her unsupervised. She is a dog first and foremost and her prey drive is strong.Fiona from Arbordale Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05196630415124998431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7789865586418282697.post-70355723185901010422015-03-03T08:44:04.401-05:002015-03-03T08:44:04.401-05:00All our rottweiller girls do now is play football ...All our rottweiller girls do now is play football occasionally with a hen, but not for long...they know the error of continuing the 'game' beyond a certain point!Verahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13235143664894609891noreply@blogger.com
