Sorry to hear about your birds, too bad you aren't closer.
I have my dogs mostly broke from killing birds, but that is part of having a couple of young prey driven dogs around.
Thanks all. The thing that makes me mad is he has been around the big hens since he was born and for the last 2 months takes naps with my bantams under the trailer. He wanted to play with them at first but we got through that. Thought he would be great for tying next to pen to deter predators but put his sister there instead. She was more likely to visit the neighbors.
