So its been a realy hard week on ym Chickens. I losst two a few days ago MArry my 1yo couchin and Snow my White Easter egger. I reviewed my servalance video and discoverd that I cought the hole thing on tape. My naibghors dog had come in my yard and eaten my chickens. He dose not speak english but after I left his house he did call the police and tell them I was herasing him the police came ot my house I showed them the video and gave them a copy. they Informed me that because I live on farm land I could shoot the dog next time Isee it on my property. ( not really looking forward ot that) I'm an animal lover so the thought of shottign a dog makes me want to cry. I mowed my acers yesterday and found what was left of my chickens wit hthe riding mower. I had ot stop and cry for a secound but I have moved on and almost have the grass mowed. I cant wait till its done. I am looking at improving my out door run for my chickens ot protect them better but its all waiting on money I repaired were the dogs broke in but its still not strong enough. Funny thing is I thought I was protecting them from the Cyotes but its not the Cyotes I'm having truble with its the naighbors dogs. I expected some truble with preditors but think if some ones pet hurts some one ellses pet then they should pay for it. I guess my naighbor dosen't see it that way. my wonderfull boyfriend did order me 4 new chickens that are due to be deliverd next week I cant wait to meet my new friends.
the black one in the picture above is the one of the two I lost and the White one
