Yeah same here, Though I did have to forgive my chihuahua for getting a little too frisky with my bantam hen- after yelling at the dog (Chicken is fine, and broody for first time )

@Sally Sunshine I have no clue what happened. There were 64 chicks in that brooder pen, 2 heat sources and the building stays roughly 60 degrees. They all evidently piled against a wall and 20 chicks did not make it. I have never had anything happen like this before so I have no clue. Not uncommon for one or two to not make it and get trampled. I'm ok with with natural selection but 20 in one shot is crazy. Never in my life!

short life huh

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.

Yeah my chihuahua mothers the babies now, totally cute but had to tell a friend I couldn't dog sit for him anymore cause his dog goes nuts and jumps at the coop siding when he sees the chicks, it's all in how you train them.


@canadachickens
Not That kind of frisky, the kind that involves emergency stitches and lost feathers
