I let my girls free range yesterday & when I was inside eating my supper, the neighors mutts decided to have supper too. I went outside after supper & the pug was chasing them so I ran him off. I noticed my blue Ameraucana pullet was laying in the driveway dead. I counted & found 1 more missing. As I was looking for it, my neighbor, who is a lady that lives alone next door came carrying a towel with my EE pullet wrapped up in it. She said her dogs were going to kill it & asked what I thought it was! I told her it was one of my chickens. Her terrior mutt had chased it over into my neighbors yard & both dogs were terrorizing her. She said she would have never guessed that it was a chicken & was sorry. She apologized& asked if I could teach her dogs to not bother my chickens since my German Shepherd doesn't bother them. I said I would try. I don't want to kill her dogs.
The EE is in a box with some straw in the barn. She was still sitting there resting this morning when I went to work this morning. She is sore & has a little blood around her vent . I hope she will be ok.
My girls are only 9 weeks old & this is the first incident with predators. I just got into the chicken thing in September. I had 10 of them, now down to 9 with 1 injured.
