He really thinks he's their dad. We talked to Alisha about how Duke was so sad when the chicks grew up and got adopted, and how their reunion went!

00:00What do you think of your new chickie friend?
00:03I have to show Duke up close and personal
00:06because he's such a nanny dog.
00:08After that, he was just addicted to the baby chicks.
00:12Oh, you need to see your chickies.
00:15Say good morning, chickies.
00:17Good morning, chickies.
00:20Do you wanna check on your chickies?
00:23Boy, you love your chickies, huh?
00:26Duke, it's time for bed, come on.
00:27It was very hard to separate Duke
00:29and the chickies.
00:31Come on.
00:32It would be like 10 o'clock at night
00:34and he would just lay next to the chickens.
00:36Duke, come here.
00:37And look at me like, yeah, right,
00:39I'm gonna stay out here with my chickies.
00:41Come on.
00:43They need me to sleep out here with them.
00:45Come on, come here, come on.
00:48We're not allowed to have full-grown chickens in our house.
00:51So our friend took the four chickies
00:54that we had over to her place.
00:57Do you miss your chickies?
00:59So we reunited him.
01:01Do you wanna see your chickies?
01:03At first, I was a little scared.
01:05Are the chickens gonna be mean?
01:08The chicken might give it a hard kiss.
01:10But Duke knows if he moves,
01:12they might try to fly away.
01:14And so I think he remembered when they were babies,
01:17like, I don't wanna move too much.
01:22It was truly special that the grown chickens
01:24were still so calm around Duke.
01:26Duke just makes everyone feel so safe.
01:29We had to get a family portrait.
01:31Duke, in almost all the photos,
01:33is just looking at his chickens.
01:35Just got done visiting Duke's chickies.
01:37Now he's tired.
01:40He's pretty big, good.
01:42Duke has his stuffed chickies to nanny every night.
01:45He just takes it from downstairs,
01:47hops it upstairs, and brings it to bed.
