A neighbor's loose dog completely terrorized my girls today (er, hello? We have leash laws, idiot). Luckily, they were in their run and not free ranging or they would be dead. I don't leave them unattended (b/c hawks) but no way I could have gotten all 5 to safety. It was literally running and jumping into the sides of the run. They were terrified and hiding upstairs in the coop and wouldn't even come out for treats. ![Crying face :cry: 😢](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f622.png)
My husband joked when I was wrapping my pre-fab coop in 1/2" hardware cloth over the 1" (don't throw shade - he's not the most handy but I love him) that even a Rougaroux couldn't break in. Welp...
I'll take my chickens' lives and that I told ya so today. Do the cloth, people!
(And yes, my overweight self in my coop flip flops ran across 2 lots and up a hill after that dog after chasing it off 3 times and confronted the owner.)
