Smart neighbors!!!! I for one know the hot wire works very well on dogs. I have horses and on occasion my dogs will get lifted on the bottom wire when their tails touch it. It takes weeks before they will go near the fence again. I even trained my hound to an electric fence dog yard cause she refused to stay in the yard and had to rig up something while I build a dog yard. She ran straight into the fence got lifted and I couldnt even get her out that door for two weeks. She never tested it again.
She was one of the injured. Her sister was killed in the attack. I'm trying hard to save her. I doctored her up again this evening (along with the other injured chickens) I wiped off their wounds with a little hydrogen peroxide and water mix and then sprayed them with Blu-Kote. Her injuries were a little slimy, which is never a good sign. When I put her into the tractor she just stood there all ruffled up, not moving at all. I gave them a little buttermilk and the other hens gobbled it right up. She just stood there, not even looking at it. I've given them electrolytes/vitamins and antibiotics in their water. She isn't eating or drinking much, but I force fed her some of the water. I'm gonna do everything I can to keep her alive. It's only her and 2 of her brothers out of the 9 amaraucanas I had, and I was so looking forward to breeding them!
I'm very, very pleased with them. They seem to be doing what they need to do to keep it from happening again. The other family's dog (a little brown terrier looking dog) was following him, not on a leash. That's not his fault he has no responsibilities with that dog. That being said, I'm not too worried about the terrier. If he comes on to our property and messes with the flock we'll still shoot him. I have friends who lost most of their flock to their weinie dog, so small dogs and definitely do damage, but I'm not sure how much he had to do with it. He was here, he was seen, but he seemed to be more along for the ride 'cause it was fun.
