Came home Friday to a dead rooster and a dead 7 mth old hen and 2 missing hens. Looked on my cameras and found out someone's 2 dogs were wilding on my chickens. 4 out of 12 lost. The worst is my poor rooster. He was awful and always having to watch him to keep from getting attacked. But video showed him running and fighting 2 dogs for over an hour. He valiantly did all he could to protect his girls. It sucks because after 1.5 yrs of free ranging them, now I have to come up with a way to protect them on my property because some dog owner can't control their dogs.
So every hour I'm at home, I'm strapped and waiting on these dogs to come back for more. Spent all weekend trying to get them a safer place in a hot fence. Hopefully one of the 4 chicks we have is a Cockrell.
