My son loves and adores these chickens, he cried most of the night for 2 nights because he was scared the "bad dog" was gonna come get him. My son is only 2. He was upset about his chickens being gone.
When you ask a dog person you get a completely different response compared to when you ask a chicken person.
I have a 2 year old son, the last thing I need is a dog coming up in the yard scaring him, he is already scared of dogs, If I wouldn't have taken care of this problem now, next time it...
I decided to write out a polite letter and ask to be reimbursed for my birds. They were all pure breeds and I expect the going rate for each in my area which is about $15 each. He can pay me $15 each for my 20 birds or I will have no choice but to proceed with a law suit. I was within my legal...

I'm taking them to small claims court.
I'm gonna ask for a a few hundred dollars
That is what makes me mad too, is the comment, "They are just chickens".
They came to the house but I was home alone and scared to answer the door. These were mostly 8-12 week old chicks that I hateched in my incubator but some were about a year old.
A bull dog came up in my yard, killed 19 of my chickens and I had to take care of one other one because it's back was split wide open. I killed the dog. Shot it dead. I was so mad I was shaking and crying at the same time. I called the sheriff's office and filed a report and animal control came...
