I am so sorry for your losses. It is heartbreaking to lose them. We recently lost a rooster in our bachelor flock to a bobcat. It was our fault for forgetting to go out on time to close the coops.
His brothers were visibly shaken. His father (who is in the main area separated by a chicken wire fence) realized he was gone the next day and
paced the perimeter for days calling out for him. We are far more diligent now about closing the coops on time.
I hope you can work out a solution with the neighbors about their dogs…I imagine it could be either an easy fix or get quite complicated! I wonder how other members have dealt with similar situations?
