Thanks to all who expressed their sympathy..It is amazing how attached we get to our animals isn't it? I was in hysterics yesterday then depressed and angry then finally resolved. A day of real ups and downs.
Both neighbors involved actually came to me within the hour and offered condolences...
Woke up to neighbors dogs running through the yard with 2 chickens in their mouths. After accessing the damages I found I have at least 7 murdered layers and one badly injured roo. I had a flock of 28 and will not know how many are left until I am sure none are still hiding for their lives...
