Thanks everyone.
I have over 6 acres. All fenced and cross fenced. I have dogs. They will not bother chickens. My puppies has been raised from days old (i bottle raised them) with goats, birds, llamas etc. (all other bottle babies too mostly). I train my dogs. I spend hours on my dogs and training. I even trained my cat. Call me obsessed with being the "alpha" but everything I have comes when called and respects my space. Even the goats.
Mil's dogs/cats have no rules, boundries or anything. They will not come when called once. This isn't the first time we have gotten into it over her "pets". With as much land as I have, I should be able to let my birds free range in an area. This is just over the top for me. The darn dogs had bodies and parts everywhere. There was no need for it. They have food. They didn't need to kill. And to be honest...I don't think she will miss these dogs. She has 5 more.
that were in the house when this happened.
The problem is getting her dogs.( These 3 anyway) They come when they feel like it and don't have much do to with people unless its' food time. So that is a problem. But I also have an equalizer for that little problem. And at this point, I don't care. I have had to patch up both my roos from them fighting the dogs. They are now also in a crate so I can care for their legs and other injuries.
Good news is I thought my OEG was dead but she must have been knocked out. She is hurt but I done what I can for her and she is comfy in a crate in my room with the TV on. ( Yes Grit this is the one who loves to come in the house to lay eggs and crash on the couch lol)
Thank goodness I made my grow out pen like Fort Knox.
