Yay!!!
Thanks. I did develop a new appreciation for chickens and it was a positive experience even though we are sad now. It is hard to free range chickens. The poor creatures have too many enemies.
It’s a challenge for sure I free range mine so I’m aware of the risks. I get so infuriated
when I hear about irresponsible dog owners ~ dogs killing chickens. The sad but TRUE fact is that they are the #1 killer of chickens. I mean come on now~chickens can survive a lot of things but how do they protect themselves from inconsiderate pet owners?Perhaps in the future you might reconsider who knows. True story... my friend who gave me my first chickens is calling it quits. After he had his flock wiped out TWICE by dogs... different dogs because he shot the killers. It’s just sad. 
Sorry to hear about your remaining chickens I understand your feelings and it's your feelings now. Give yourself time to heal, I've said "never" several times only to start over. Perhaps consider keeping them confined instead of free ranging. I know free ranging is fun but I've learned confined is just a good and they are fine. 
they were so in awe and quickly went back to their CH when I called them.
