Yep, I've lost a few dumb birds that way, too. My fault when the dog got out of her fenced yard (and gleefully played amongst the chickens, casualties = 4), she's been rehomed. But it's just a death wish to fly over the dogs' fence into their yard. I can't fault the dogs, they are hounds, after all. Lost my favorite little bantam game cock, "Little Shit", and a stupid hen he was trying to protect.what else do you call it when chickens commit suicide by going into a fenced in area holding four cattle dogs?
