The Lawton regulations are so broad that if anybody thinks my chickens are a nuisance then I have a problem. It does not define what a nuisance is so if someones dog gets in my yard or if one of my chicks ends up being a rooster and crowing too much according to my neighbors I am in trouble I guess. I am sure if I trapped someones dog there would be heck to pay. I already know one of my neighbors hates all animals and is not above lying to animal control. So I will be extra careful.

I hear ya on the chicken eating dogs, was cooking supper last night and heard a dog barking, looked out an saw a black pit/lab mix digging under the fence to try an get in the chicken yard. Ran her off and went over to my neighbors to tell them their dog was trying to get in my chicken yard. Neighbor says that is not our dog, she just hangs out here. Needless to say the dog has been there all summer, had a litter of pups there, have seen her tied up there, they have been feeding her................. but she ain't their dog ? What the heck, so anyway said , guess you won't be upset when I shoot her then, since she is not your dog, and I am not going to have her kill my chickens and turkeys, hm, guess we will see how that turns out. Had to spend a hour fixing the hole she dug and the fencing that she destroyed. No animal control where we live since it is a rural area and there are no city ordances out here. Thats my rant for the day about dogs that are allowed to destroy other people animals. And dang it dinner was an hour late, lol.
