Welcome to BYC! I would make a secure run for your chickens- you might want to consider using dog kennel panels and line the bottom vertically with some hardware cloth so that raccoons and hawks won't pull them through the fencing. This will also hopefully keep your dogs away from your chickens.

If you bury the hardware cloth or apron it outward (google hardware cloth apron) this should help prevent diggers from digging under the fencing.

Hi, welcome to BYC!

Unless your dogs are used to being around poultry and have been trained to leave them alone, it's best to keep them separated. Dogs like to "play" with birds but that doesn't work so well for the birds. The predator articles in the Learning Center will help you learn how to best protect your poultry from harm:

Good luck to you, thanks for joining us!
