Same dog attacked my chickens AGAIN

[bobbi-j]

Another thing to consider is putting a fence around your property. I know, the dog was in the wrong, but think about it. If that dog can get in and attack your chickens, so can any other dog, or wild animal. Just a thought....

I know, he parks his car near the bottom of my drive, I'll be sneaky and just happen to be in my garden when he is due home from work tomorrow night then tell him! My friends husband plays golf with him and they have just left a while ago to play, so i bet he will say to him!! (well i hope so anyway)

I know I need to get a fence put up, but to do that it would cost me alot of money cause it is a very wide area.

It does not mater if they know you called animal control, play dumb...
This is a mater of keeping your hens safe, there feelings should not matter in this situation.

What about doing what someone else did and mix poison with dogfood? How about a trap?

That is cruel, and you'd have to keep your chickens from wanting to eat it. I think reasoning with the owner is the first option, the next option-- animal control, the final option: bullet if your aim is good. Otherwise let the professionals handle it.

If it comes back and you can't shoot it, a good tactical knife will work just fine.

Or you can get a cheap 1000 fps pellet gun, those aren't very loud.

What if you shot it with a paintball or something to maybe give a hint to the dogs owner?
