Dog attack, down to 8

[Chickenmom283]

A dog attacked our 11 chicks. 8 safe, 3 missing and probably dead. The dog had one in its mouth but didn't take the chicken with it. It's either alive and hiding or dead somewhere. I love my babies, and don't want it to come back. Any ideas on how to prevent more attacks? We are missing 2 Wyandottes, Shimmer, which I had the chirping problem with, and Ghost, my floofy marshmallow ball of feathers, and an Australorp hen, Henrietta.

I am so sorry for your losses
Make another thread in predators and pests, people will actually be looking to help you with that issue there. And please reserve this forum type for “emergencies/diseases/injuries and cures” from now on. Again sorry for your losses and I hope this didn’t upset you (I am sorry if it did).

Oh okay! No, you didn't upset me, I just didn't know what other forum type I could use. Thanks, I'm trying to get over the chicks, since they are in a better place.
