Bear and the Birds!!!

[joeanne]

O/H decided to take the chicks out of the brooder so they can have a run about........
Ok, so what have we here

Surrounded!

DAD....get it OFF!!!!

The Bear was very good and didnt even try and eat any!

Aw, bless!


PS lots of childhood memories, my da used to work for a hatchery

Oh isn't he good

When I first got hens and had them free range in the garden I was worried about what my spaniel would do! But actually he spends hours just staring at them - daft dog

Ravenwood, Bear's very 1st encounter with a chicken (it had escaped from the house next door to the yard) was for want of a better phrase.......stripped butt nekkid!

The Bear grabbed the poor thing and got it down to its birthday suit in a couple of nano seconds!
He has now been taught chicken etiquette, courtesy of Hale and Pace, the two rather large cockrels!

Well done Bear! And well done Hale and Pace, their work was clearly a success

Awwww these photos are so cute! xxxxx

Cute!!

Sweep only tires to chase the cockerels when he thinks they aren't looking and 'sneaks' (he is a spangle!!) up on them. They flap and squark a bit and Sweep runs away with a grin on his face!! With anything small and fluffy he just sits and watches - big softy!!

So cute!!

Unfortunately Otto would have snaffled them right up

I'm not sure what it is about chickens, but he is obsessed with them, he doesn't give a stuff about the ducks and the geese scare him, but he would sit outside the chicken shed all the time if you left him.
When the chickens are loose Otto has to be watched like a hawk.

Awwww! I aaahhh'ed so loudly then that Leah came running, obviously assuming that she is the only thing I am ever allowed to find adorable.

I would love it if we could have the dogs and hens loose at the same time, but a selectively-deaf JRT with a penchant for killing birds probably isn't going to be quite so gentle.

My two would also have hoovered them up for a suck

pssst...... which one is mine?
