4 dogs attacked my flock killed 40 of my ducks/hens and a beautiful red silver laced Wyandotte rooster

I’m asking for help to rebuild. The dogs owner is refusing to admit fault. I just want to put this past me and if y’all have any fertile eggs you can donate I’d appreciate it.

Have you called the police? Uncontrolled dogs are not something I would just ignore.

Absolutely agree.

Absolutely agree.

You need to call the police then, send a notarized letter of demand via certified mail (if your areas laws comply) because even if your birds are worth $10 each, that's more than enough for small claims in most places.

Absolutely agree.

I did. They said nothing and did nothing. They didn’t even do anything while the giant pit bulls had my Indian runner ducks hanging from their mouths.

Laying hens should go for more like $20 to $25/hen depending on the breed. My dental tech told me two days ago she paid $75/ea for some kind of Brahmas, don't know if that included shipping.

Then write to your Congressman/person. I hope you took pictures of that!

I did and she claims she’s broke and it’s not her fault. The cops were no help and I’m going to see a lawyer on what I could do. I was distraught and devastated, my little boys were so sad. This was their first flock they raised.

So sorry for your loss. I would try to build a predator proof coop and large run, but the dogs may continue to be a problem if they are still around. A game camera would be helpful to capture them on your property. It might be better to start out smaller at first.
