Bravo! The cheek of that council ranger, you should have told him that you'd bury the dog as soon as council put you on their payroll. What does he think he's getting paid for?
Advice!

. I'd go on the council website and give them an ear full

ok looks like I found the culprit. I went to check the cage this morning and there was a dog in it. I would say a dingo cross thing. Looked like a dingo but not a pure one for sure. Rang council and they said they would send someone around. The guy lives one street from me and he was there in 5 minutes.(this is a different council guy not tony the one I have dealt with before) He only told me it was a wild dog not a domesticated one. He then proceeds to tell me he will get his gun and shoot it there and I can get rid of the body..... Hmmm. I told him don't think so I am not digging a hole in this rock hard ground to try to bury a wild dog. It is illegal here to shoot anything on land under 40 acres not sure if it is the same for council though,. He was non to impressed and told me well if I didn't let my chickens out to free range I would not attract wild dogs. I told him if council did their job and got rid of wild dogs my chickens could free range happily... With much disgust he finally loaded the cage with the dog in it and took it away. He is supposed to be returning the cage tonight., First time I have ever managed to catch anything in that cage. Must tell the neighbour who lent it to me.. He will be impressed.

Well done! Cheeky man asking you to do what he is paid for.

Not been in this thread much and am presuming it's a general chit chat thread so not much is 'off topic' with that in mind am sincerely hopiung that the horrendous bush fires sweeping across NSW that everyone and their animals are okay

Yep we always come back to poultry but wander off topic on a regular basis.

Not near the bad fires but will be curious to see an update on one south of us as fire engines went screaming past earlier today. Hopefully the rain forecast for tonight and tomorrow arrives.

We wonder all over the place on this thread and as appps said we do find our way back to poultry all part of the fun of the thread I am thinking of everyone in nsw too.

Off the subject. Few calves.

Nice Sam. You have goats if i remember correctly. Do you have milk or meat goats? went to my cousins house yesterday and she breeds show quailty numbians? She makes the best cheeses from the milk and gave me some home made fetta,halloumi, ricotta and chevre (i think she called it that). The best cheese. Never thought goats cheese would be so yummy.
