Devastated! Warning Graphical

Pics
Perhaps your son went later than usual? Looks very sunny and hot with no water or food or shade in sight.
That's South, it was earlier in the morning. The shade and coop is out of sight to the right. The water is also there to the right and a pool for the ducks. The knocked over bucket is the 5 gal feed bucket I made that was knocked over during the massacre.

Raccoons will reach in there and kill them too. I had that happen to a goose I was raising. Also regarding dogs, once they kill a chicken they will do it every change they get. My neighbors lab has killed another neighbors chickens and she came in my house and killed a baby mallard I was raising snd was in a cage.

In your house? I'd dispatch the dog and make owners pay, as I'll be doing if possible.
 
Another Muscovy dead this morning from her injuries.

What killed them
 
What killed them
I think attacked by dogs that run the streets in this city. The City Council won't push the ordinance (most grew up together, small city of 250). We have people who free feed cats out here, they reproduce like crazy. Other chickens and ducks I think were stolen. I had 4 dogs poisoned, I guess if you cause waves in their little world it happens. As soon as enough money is available for good 4k cameras I'm ordering them. Next will be fencing the property. Then another Kangal.
 
As mentioned I sold my pickup for enough to build this coop/run. Will this work? Have enough to build 3 more.View attachment 2801662
I don't think this will work either. This is okay for a day run. At night they need to have a predator proof coop maybe built and attached at one end of this run. It doesn't have to be big, but any opening needs to be covered in quarter inch wire cloth. I have about 18 chickens who free range within a very large fenced area, but at night they all crowd into a 4 x 4 box with mesh wire in a hole at the top, opening at left and screened door. First picture shows making the coop, second shows the wire on the door. Third picture shows the coop freestanding within covered area. Sorry pictures aren't better. The point is the coop (where they actually sleep and lay their eggs) doesn't have to be big. The massacre picture looks like a racoon or a opossum. Both these kill for the thrill, usually just taking heads and leaving bodies.
