With my dog, she was playing with it more than anything else. And, when we caught her with the last turkey, she dropped it and ran home to hide. She knew she was in trouble!

I'm terribly sorry, Nifty.

Make sure you let the neighbors know. Hopefully they will keep their dog in its own yard.

In the least, he knew he was not where he should be!
I'm so sorry you lost a sweet girl! I have a Black Astralorp that is so special to me. I would be devestated!
Again,
I'm sorry for your loss

I'm sorry to hear about your loss, Nifty!

I'm surprised your hen got out... I wonder how she accomplished that.

 

[FrontPorchIndiana]

Oh no! I'm so sorry.

 

[Nifty-Chicken]

Not sure.... this fence is such that sometimes none get out and sometimes a few get out. It may be that now that they have molted and have new wing feathers we need to trim again. We'll probably do that tonight or tomorrow.

I'll keep an eye our for the dog over the next week, but I sure would like to let my hens back out into the other fenced areas to do their magic and have fun.

I am so sorry for your loss. I know how hard it was when a dog got one of ours.

I'm sorry to hear about this Nifty. I've been so lucky with mine since I live in an area that has so many strays and homeless dogs.

Shoot, it stinks...but it happens to the best of us. I am so sorry for your loss.
