I was very nice to them--we laughed about the dog/chicken situation. I wasn't rude and didn't accuse them of anything It is a sort of standard fence around here, but you can see through between the slats. It goes all the way to the ground.It is not good to stress about a problem that does not even exist. Take a thoughtful walk around your yard and make sure that your fencing is good and strong and that your yard is secure. Make sure that you have done what you can to keep your chicken safe from ALL predators that can get in your yard.
It sounds like you have already discussed your concerns with the neighbors. If you have not then do that.
Yes. some people have had bad experiences with dogs but not all dogs are rabid killing machines that will scale anything and dig giant holes to get at your birds. It sounds to me like you have a standard wooden fence in your backyard correct? So the dog will not even be able to see the birds? I would just make sure there is not a gap between the bottom of the fence and ground.
Give them a chance. If you came at me before I even moved in accusing my dogs of things that had not even happened I would be very off put and less likely to be your allie in the future.
