I noticed this thread picked up interest again, so I thought I might give everyone an update. As for pressing charges on the neighbor - I wish I hadn't dropped the idea of at least confronting them in person, but as it was my senior year in high school, and I have severe social anxiety, so it...

I haven't been online too much, but I'll give everyone an update. The (believed) owners weren't home on the multuple occasions that I went over (I think a couple people said they went on vacation), and I haven't seen either of their dogs outside. Since our security cameras are mounted on our TV...

@ginger7 I had to put Barbie down, the leg was infected. However, the prosthetic is quite neat. Thanks for the input!

I don't think what @Bamafansince86 meant was that the dog should be tortured and in excessive pain. I do agree that animal cruelty is bad, but I think the post you quoted meant to be interpreted as "If it doesn't die right away after being shot, It would be almost kismet if the owners...

Our dog wears a shock collar for the underground fence, but I can only think of one neighbor who actually consistently contains their dogs. Two, if I count the one across the highway. Every other dog nearby is either hardly let outside, or usually not very motivated to leave the yard. Most...

The rest of my chickens are fine, just a little nervous to go outside. I'm home today, so I let them into the fenced run (no bird netting on currently) and I'm watching them like a hawk. Checked on barbie again this morning, her leg reeks, and her foot feels almost like a bubble. Definitely...

@Shorty1071 I do have a predator proof run, 600 sq. ft, attached to my coop, but with 26 chickens I had liked to let them free range our 2.5 acres. I also had to take the bird netting off the run last month because it was sagging with snow, and one of the grapevines had grown into it last...

@Percheron chick I based the Iowa blue chicks price off of day old hatchery chicks, and the price (labor/feed) of raising to the point I had them, and I did the same logic with the price of the older birds. I might go through though, and make it a little more clear on that part. @Bunnylady I...

Thanks all; I will be making a few minor adjustments to the letter, and I'll try and keep this thread up to date with whatever happens. Hopefully it all gets settled peacefully, without a neighborly feud, but whether or not that happens is up to how the dog's owners react. Update on Barbie the...

I really don't know where to post this, but here seems applicable. On Jan. 23, a dog got into my yard and killed 9 of my chickens, including my Iowa Blues and the birds I'd been raising for fair. We have 3 security cameras, a result of a different dog attack last year. We scrubbed through nearly...
