Crowing
I had a dog show up last fall during hunting season. He was clearly a bird dog, so I assumed he got lost during a hunt. I kept my birds locked away and kept him and fed him while I looked for his owners. His owners turned out to be neighbors of ours who I like very much. I was happy to return him. A month later he showed back up, this time while my chickens were out and killed one of my BR. The neighbors quickly replaced her with a couple EE (like I said she is a great neighbor) and I have not seen the dog again. However if I ever do see that dog in my yard again, I will probably shoot it and bury it deep in the pasture, I can act dumb if anyone asks :/. The trouble with protecting a dog is it remembers and will come back. I have no ill will against these neighbors, but I may have to kill their dog.
I would not hesitate to kill a fox or coyote...they are not dogs, they are predators that will not only kill my chickens, but they will kill my cats, my dogs, and even a new unattended calf
