I just joined the forum yesterday....and wanted to post cuz I knew there would be people who understand. I have 4 lovely chickens...all different breeds and just love them and today two wretched undisciplined little dogs got into my fenced back yard and killed Dottie...a beautiful Barred Plymouth Rock, actually she was my favorite. I am so sad...... I know these things do happen..but inside my chain link I thought they were pretty safe. I have been thinking about building a tractor so they had a little extra security and now I know what I will be spending my extra dollars on. Who would have ever thought I would shed tears over a chicken....thanks for listening. Here is a moment of silence for Dottie----------------------------------------------------- Thanks, Shemarie
