Thought I would start a thread about my court case against my neighbor. I had my girls a total of 5 days before a neighbors dogs (she has 6) ripped apart my coop and killed all my birds. We have photos of one of her dogs with one of my dead birds and photos of a dead bird and feathers from another bird in her yard. Neighbors came forward and have given evidence that her dogs are a nuisance. We have filed a "vicious dog" complaint and property damage with the local police dept. They were very cooperative. We will be filing a restitution claim against her too (we are providing estimates for replacement of pullets and coop repair to the court). We took photos and called the police immediately after finding the birds in her yard. She was sure that her dogs were not responsible and not capable of doing that kind of damage, even though she had dead birds in the yard. I will keep you posted, as I know this happens more frequently than we would like and maybe my experience will help others in similar situations.
