Arizona Chickens

Oh No!!!!

This is probably not a good time to say this, but blame the human not the dog.

Put an invoice together so the dog's owner can pay for your SHOW QUALITY animals, and maybe he/she will think twice before letting his/her dog out to wreak havoc on the neighborhood.

Memorial Day always reminds me of a story my Dad used to tell.. As most of you know, my Dad was a half-track
driver in an antiaircraft unit in Patton's army.. He had a friend named Frenchy, and every time they pulled
into a french town, Frenchy would sneak off and steal eggs from the farm houses, (he loved fresh eggs).. One
night, he came back with two chickens under his arms, saying "The little b*****ds wouldn't lay, so I brought
them along".. Dad tried to explain to him about chickens, but he would only say "I don't care what kinda
chickens they are, if they won't lay, I'll eat em".. So, that night, they cooked those ROOSTERS for dinner...

Shortly after that their half-track was bazookaed in an ambush, and Dad was injured too badly to walk, and
when the Germans captured them, Frenchy was one of the two guys who helped carry him.. He said" You sure are
a lot heavier than them roosters.".. Dad said, " Good thing we don't have that pot any more".. They were
rescued on their way to the POW camp, and Dad got sent home.. He survived the war, but sadly, Frenchy didn't..
He died just outside Berlin, three days before the war ended...

Thank-you for sharing that story. That's so funny, and sad. I love when my dad shares some of his funny Viet Nam stories, and my brother shares some of hi funny Afganistan stories. The things guys do to get a laugh in the middle of war...

I am so very sorry, Nova. That is absolutely horrible. You should go after the owners for the cost of your livestock and call animal control. Climbing a 6 foot fence is no small feat. And you have small children, right? With that level of aggression in that breed, I would be very concerned...and armed.

X2 So sorry Nova!

Nova I am so sorry......and yes, I would go after the neighbors for the cost of your flock and contact animal control and the deputy sheriff's office in your area regarding that dangerous dog and the gross negligence of it's owners.

There may be civil penalties (cost of your loss plus fines, damages) that apply regarding this situation. That thing should not be able to roam the neighborhood freely and yes, I would worry about your family too.....

GrannysRoost and Novaleigh - I am so sorry for your losses.

hmm, i'm starting to get a little paranoid about my flock now. what is this MG you are talking about?
a few of my birds seem to have runny noses, but no smells of death and no sneezing. i havent been worried because it has been going away on its own. should i worry?

And I just noticed that Hoppy has a runny nose as well.

Tylan or not to Tylan - that is the question.

Holy crap Nova! I'm so sorry.

Nova, I am so, so sorry to hear about what happened to your flock. That is just terrible, and I hope that you will go to the dog's owner and get compensation for your animals. I'm just sick thinking about what happened to those poor birds, and at the same time, I'm glad that it wasn't a child that was in the yard when the dog decided to attack.

If it would help at all, I'd be glad to give you a written statement of what you paid for the birds you got from me.
