On a happier note.... Day 18 for the eggs in the bator! Took out 5 quitters, so 14 left, I'm crossing my fingers!

Good luck on your eggs! So sorry for your lost. Your poor puppy--how is he doing today?

I found this chart http://avianaquamiser.com/posts/What_killed_my_chicken__63__/

This chart is excellent! It is one of those things you hope you never have to use. I have bookmarked it.

I called and reported it last week and the owner and other neighbors have called as well! Ugh! I HATE THIS GODFORSAKEN CITY! CANT WAIT TO BE RID OF IT! COUNTRY LIVIN HERE WE COME!

Sarge, are you looking actively for a home in the country or is it still on your wish list? If/When you decide to move, make sure the property is NOT going to be annexed by the city you are moving close to. We found out after we bought our place, that Rosenberg can annex us. Joy, Joy

When that happend where we are, they ended up going around our 1 1/2 acres and the neighbors 1 1/2 acres and left us out. Last time I called the police for something, I was informed that technically we need to be calling the sherriff, 40 minutes away... The police dept is like a mile or 2 from us... He then said but since you are so close, we can go ahead and help you if you need it...

We just moved out there from Plano in march. I am about 10 minutes from Mo's. I live off 1138 and 541.

You are pretty close to where we are. We are about a mile from Mo's. Had any raccoon trouble? We are just infested with them.

Here in Jonestown we don't have any animal control. Sometimes there are packs of wild dogs. I'm lucky to have a 6 ft wooden privacy fence so they don't get to my free range birds, but they're a real nuisance none-the-less

Well I just don't want to get fined or arrested for discharging my firearm in a residential area....
we are actively looking but won't be moving until I'm done with school... Next year! I would like to have my girls moved before I'm done but I don't want to have to drive to school....

I haven't seen any raccoons. I think what got mine were loose dogs down the street.

I had a crime scene in my yard Saturday night, something broke in, and beat my LGD puppy up, she was covered with slobber all over her back and head and was hiding under my patio chairs. Then it tore my Austrolorpe Pullet in two, and only left her bottom half. Her head and wings were gone, no where to be found. At first I thought my pup did it, because she likes to chase the chickens, but she had no blood on her and all that slobber in her coat, and was acting freaked out. Very sad, hard way for my bird to go, and frustrating I lost one that was just a month or so away from laying.

Sounds like that may have been another dog. Is that possible?

ETA : I need to finish reading before replying. Apparently you think the same.
