Years ago when we moved to the country something similar happened to us. A dog came through and wiped out our Bantam light Brahma's. They were my daughters 4H birds. Looked and looked and could not find any of quality anywhere so got into Cochins. My daughter woke me as I had been working 3rd shift. Don't know who the dog belonged to but he didn't make it a hundred yards from the chicken house. Shoot, shovel, shut up solves some of these situations. . If you know the owner of the dog you should collect big time. Birds have value plus the value of the chicks and eggs they would produce. Also call the law about livestock killing animals. In Iowa they take it seriously.
