New chicks settled and I am delighted!!!

Have had my new chicks a week now and they have settled in so well that one even took food off my hand today!! Well, had to bribe her with meal worms but so what. 

 The strange thing is that the smallest one seems to be the bravest.  Grace was first out of the house when we settled them in - took about 10 minutes, she was first out of the run into the garden and 1st to chase the dog round the garden, much to the dog's (kinsey) delight.  Kinsey has spent 3 years trying to get the rabbits to play chase to no avail so she just loves this game. Kinsey is a wee pomarian and not any bigger than the chicks so they arent worried by her. Think they just see her as a pest lol.  Unfortunatley she also has taken a liking to eating chicken poop so have so clean up every dropping all the time. Does anyone know if chick poop is bad for dogs?
Still dont know who is the top hen as have'nt seen any of them being the boss yet, but have noticed that they dont seem to cling on to each other as much as they did a few days ago. Does this mean they feel secure?
Cheer Jinty

My dogs have to stay in the house while the chickens are in the garden, but as soon as they are back in there run i let the dogs out and they go on poo patrol....YUK!!!

welcome to the world of chicken-keeping Jinty, they really do bring hours of fun    we'd love to see some photos of your girls 

My Jack Russel Terrier (Sparky) will eat chicken pooh whenever he can get it    I am so pleased to hear  that your chicks are settling well. I would agree that some pics would be great !
