    My Dogs killed all my Chickens

    So for those who asked...no I’m not asking for compensation from the sitter. The issue is not the money it is the loss of our beautiful hens especially for our daughter. They had just begun to lay eggs and were prized pets. We have determined the 2 fails that allowed this to occur. Probably...
