Dogs are the worst predator, I swear Amazing update!

I need hugs. Two neighbor dogs killed my two roosters, the best roosters I've ever had. They were both perfectly behaved and the hens adored both.

The chickens were scratching around in the snow, something they usually refuse to do, and these two dogs swooped in on the chickens. The boys apparently did a good job of decoying the dogs so the hens were all spared, although it took me an hour to locate one hen who was hiding motionless in plain sight.

I don't hate all dogs, but I sure have no use for irresponsible dog owners who let their dogs run wild all over the mountain.

Oh no that’s so sad!! It’s really hard when things like that happen. Well I hope the rest are alright and no more attackes.

So sorry! I hope you have told your neighbors what happened. Your two Roos are hero’s.

Yes, it's the irresponsible owners who really get under my skin.
So sorry You lost them

I would hold your neighbor responsible for her/his dogs. At least she/he has to pay for two new chicks and some chick-feed…

I am so sorry for your loss.
Big hugs.

*hugs, as requested* I feel your loss deeply, and couldn't be more sympathetic. My condolences. Undoubtedly, they enjoyed lives fit for kings.

Dogs strike me as unbelievably formidable predators, when untrained. It's heartbreaking how many they can take out in one go.....possibly the entire flock. Bless your boys' hearts for sacrificing themselves to preserve their ladies. True troopers.

Sorry for your loss! There seem's to be irresponsible dog owner's all over. I have seen and heard of more peoples flock's around here that have been killed by dog's than by either coyotes or hawk's! I don't let mine free-range because of that.

I’m so sorry! You’re 100% correct, predator dogs are the WORST Just the other day, out precious family dog, Jake was torn to pieces and killed by our neighbor’s dog.

Again, I’m so sorry.
