in fact, the reason why all my previous chickens are dead is because they wanted to free range!

except with Esther, she got killed because the dogs broke through her temporary pen

Well, you should allow your siblings right to their own opinions, if they like dogs better than chickens what can a person do about it? Not much....... Well, maybe you should (And I know you're probably going to hate me for this suggestion) put your chickens in a pen? It doesn't sound like the dogs are going to go away anytime soon.

Don'cha think it's time for a doghouse and run?

yes, i've been thinking that since they first attacked and killed Sarah and Tanaga a few months ago, but noooooooooooo my dad thinks they need to be able to run around. and chickens don't???!!!

me and my mom both want to pen up those dogs, but theres no arguing with my dad

One of those 50 foot long leeashes should provide enough running space while preventing them from getting close to the chickens. And one can always bring them inside/wherever at night.

An small run, with wheels like a chicken tractor, would provide the chickens movable foraging space while keeping the dogs out. If thats possible.

Well, they are puppies, you can't blame them quite yet now can you? Its like getting mad at a young child becuase they did something wrong, they don't know right from wrong yet. You can't quite exspcect them to leave your chickens alone can you, if they don't know not to? Somebody should train them though, letting them get away with chicken murder is just teaching them that its alright.
