all I will say is that I am both a chicken lover and a dog lover and I securely fence my large dogs to keep them away from my chickens and my neighbors animals (sheep, horses, cats, etc). That is true love for a dog.
As for that huskie, if it truly threatened you and attacked your dog, you should have called animal control. They would not have gotten the dog back. There is zero tolerance for that sort of thing when it comes to the law. NO DOG should ever act like that. Its attacking the chickens should be the least of their worries - if it hurts a person or a dog, your neighbors could be in big trouble.
This is hard for me to say because my family has lost a beloved angel of a dog that was falsely accused of attacking a cat by an evil neighbor who hates all dogs. But, because of that I know for sure that the law will side with the accuser and a dangerous animal like that needs to be contained or taken out of the home. The end.
Get your chickens. That's your right. If your neighbors can't control their animal, please do not hesitate to get the law involved. Good luck to you!
