Oh man, this is terrible, I’m so sorry!

It’s depressing how so many people refuse to believe their dog is a predator. Why does it have to be proven to them through loss of life?

if no one saw the attack then how do they know?

The have been many stories, this one is historical...
A baby was killed in it's crib and the door or large window was left open, the dog was next to the crib covered in blood, the parents being rightly devastated acted immediately and took the dog outside and killedhim witha sword. It was then discovered that there was a wolf.

Just saying, innocent until proven guilty. Yes, many dogs attack there are others that protect and rescue

At least the neighbor called and then took responsibility. But Zulu and Nox paid for that learning experience. RIP beautiful, well-loved birds Zulu and Nox

Deeply saddened these beauties are gone and I really hope you find out for sure what killed them.

The dog brought one of the bodies home with him, trying to chew on it. We both have to assume it was him. We're not shooting the dog as we didn't see it happen, but owner is taking steps to keep it from happening again.

Got that now! So it's likely the dog.

I hope his owner keeps him well away in future and gets him some training. I couldn't keep a dog if he is persistent in harming animals

I thought I added another post which I cannot see now.

I gave Tina some amoxicillin. I hope it helps her a little

I would like to find a way to clear her kidneys . Any ideas anyone?

@BY Bob do you know of a way to flush a chickens kidneys?

Tina is having problems again. I don't know if she has an egg trapped or has a kidney infection because there's yellow in her poop. I'm at a loss right now and hopefully someone can give a little advise

Tina passed? I’m so sorry. She had a wonderful life with you and Princess. You gave her freedom and space to roam and love

That looks quite good - it is crushed shell at least. Mine I think is crushed coral which is upsetting on a whole other level.

That would have to be from an old reef that is now part of the land and no longer in the ocean. There is lots of land bound coal in Florida.

The fabric will rip apart (under the vigorous scratching of chicken feet) especially if they decide to dustbathe somewhere....

I agree. I would not use it.
