Aeris the Pig Dog vs Satan the Chicken of Indeterminate Breeding

[IMAGE: https://technonaturalist.net/blog/2026/03/chicken-herding/chicken-herding_hu_d997ec0412e1e72c.webp]

"Satan" was so-called because she kept jumping the fence and occasionally also climbing up onto the currently defunct aquaponics and then onto the shed and then onto the roof and jumping off the other side, and we'd then have to drive her back to the chicken area. Aeris "The Puppy" (who is currently 4 years old) eventually figured out what we were wanting after following us every time we went to round up the chicken and then started trying to help and after requiring a few corrections (she was just chasing initially because I guess she thought that's what we were doing, and also she's not meant to actually catch them) she's been really enjoying rounding up any chickens (usually this one). The chickens don't enjoy it quite as much.

This was posted by request of @tarazkp who wanted to see when I told him my dog herded chickens (and I'd been meaning to try to get a video anyway but Satan is very slowly learning that jumping the fence is a bad idea so has been doing it less).

sorry if you get multiple mentions Taraz the cover image was giving me grief

Want a cameo character? If you interact frequently with me here (either on my posts or your posts or better yet both!) or on one of the linked Discord channels, all you have to do is let me know and tell me what you'd like :) Everything you need to know is (probably) here and if it isn't just ask (link goes offsite to my blog).

Thanks for looking! ^_^

That is funny. I grew up around farms. Never seen a dog herd chickens before. First time for everything I guess. Too funny.

Neither had we XD I heard J yelling at her earlier and when I went out to see what was going on he said the four chicks had gotten out and she was trying to herd them but she hasn't herded more than two chickens before so was struggling and he was worried that she might scare them to death.

Aeris outsmarted Satan before she could claim another "escapee of the apocalypse" title.
