After delivering new emus come home to find carnage.

Yep a 25 lb rat killing shake it till it dead jack russell . It grabed the bird over the 4 ft fence bu the lower beak. It hung on shaking it till it cut thru its jaw and throat. Shaking and tearing with the help of the top of the chain link. I would post the pics but they are way too graphic and much to upsetting for me at this time. Second guessing what I know is just insulting. Put one in with your birds and turn your back if you don't believe me.
So sorry to read this, was the emu looking over the fence when the dog got it? i am not sure if i understand how the dog got hold of it.
 
I know this is an older post but wanted to just comment.

Jack Russell are not for farm unless you can watch them every time they are with the animals. We had a jack russell and he was just fine when we were around. Angelic little bugger but the moment we left him alone he killed two calves. We had our suspicions with the first and then actually caught him in the act killing the second. Well actually he didn't kill them but it was irreversable damage. He would tire the calf out then bite his nose continuously and pull off skin and flesh. So bad that the calf could no longer eat and we ended up having to put both of them down.

Oh, and they climb fences no joke. We built a dog run 8ft tall just for him and he still was able to get out by climbing it. We ended up putting a tarp along the top of the fence so he could put his feet in the chain link fence to climb. That's the only way we were able to keep him in the dog run when not home.

We love Blue very much but when he mysteriously died at 5 years old it was a relief. :(
