Poor Sally when she comes back...

You know how you'll get a weak one in the middle of the pile and they'll walk all over it until it's dead? Yep 20X. Just walked out to the brooder house and all pens are normal. Can't explain it, definitely bazaar.

How awful.......

Wassup, SC? Been hiding from the law, us, or both?

It's only a matter of time though. And my fence is unburied. Coop is pretty sturdy, though....

You are correct... it's only a matter of time. Once they've got a taste for blood, they won't stop. 

Yeah, once they get it, it is impossible to cure them. Which is why MY dog is staying on leash until I can train her to not touch.

The police got aholt of AC and removed 2 other killers.... Good thing too, cuz those ones knew I had chickens...

That's a start, but by the time they get notified & have time to respond, your entire flock could be wiped out. I once had a bird dog that I was working. Hadn't had him very long when I found out the hard way that he was a chicken killer...not mine, but a family down the road from me. I paid the lady for her chickens & ducks, and took the dog back to the guy I got him from. Don't know what he did with him, but I've got a good idea.

Some dogs, like the Chihuahua mentioned earlier, can be dissuaded from molesting livestock with some judicious "persuasion". Others, as you've found out, can't. I had a Jack Russell for 12-15 years that killed the first chicken he ever saw; unfortunately, she was one of mine. Me & the dog had a little "discussion" regarding his unacceptable behavior, and he never went after another chicken in his life. In fact, he'd occasionally follow me into the pen, and didn't bother the birds at all. Fortunately, he paid for his first discretion, and never forgot it.

Obviously, your fine neighbors don't seem to care; if they did, you'd never have had the problem, so you've got to do what they should have done long ago.
