I'm happy to hear you still have a good foundation for your flock. Looking forward to seeing photos in the near future.
I'm an attorney by trade, so I definitely did my legal homework.
Nuts and bolts of it, the dog was a breed the isn't even legal to own in my county, which in an of its self should have resulted in the dog being put down immediately. However, she had just had puppies and I was concerned for their health and well being. She was not being feed the way a nursing mother should and I think that is most likely why she decided that my animals were a good secondary source of food.
The most aggravating thing about the whole mess is that I lost my last bird in the 3 day gap between filing the complaint with animal control and when they finally came out. Thankfully the dog is now gone (it was gone 2 days later).
I am grateful that that episode is now in the past. However, the lesson I have learned is that I will not have any pity on the starving dog should it ever happen again. 1 dead chicken = animal control involved immediately.
