I'm not sure what season we're in - some days are still savage and some are nice with rain (not icy drizzle). No snow around but, don't quote me on that. I should just

We are officially in "mud season". The snow is melting, and everything is MUD.

The Person that lost the pullets I raised for them is of course blaming the dogs. They were dumped off strays and have been caught and sent to Animal Control.

I doubt that the coop and husbandry methods will change. This is the second loss of a flock caused by stray dogs there. You would think that changes would be made to protect the flock!

So... the stray dogs propped the run gate open with a big, heavy rock? Impressive!

They are missing the part where they left to coop and run doors blocked open??

The will get no chickens from me!

Given this is strike 2, they wouldn't get the time of day from me.

Here too, until it freezes overnight. Then the sun and warmer temp turns it to mud again. Might get as much as 6" of snow Friday/Sat.

When folks free range they have to realize they will lose some birds to predators. It's not like they can call for police assistance.
