Skip the pellet gun and go for the rifle. Give the owners fair warning first. You are well within your rights and the law to protect your livestock.

I know that I am, but I just can't bring myself to kill the dogs. Now if I actually catch the dogs with a chicken in their mouth, or with one of my kittens in their mouth, I just might be singing a different tune....

If the pellet gun doesn't work, my next step is to call the pound. But I think the pellets will work, because it has worked for another dog that was wandering into my yard in the past, as well as stray cats. Those pellets hurt pretty bad, and if I shoot them in the right place, I don't think they will want to come back. (I hope)

I've already spoken to the owner, and he told me to shoot at them with a BB gun (tried that, the BB's just bounce off them). He doesn't care about his dogs running loose. He's very irresponsible, and I don't know why people like that even get animals to begin with. SMH.

On a lighter note: HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO ALL OF YOU PRECIOUS MOTHERS OUT THERE!

So sorry to hear about your dog troubles. I agree with you on all counts. We live on a good bit of land but there are people breeding pits in the area. If I catch them on my property it's done, by gun or by pound. I think we all know the fault is with the owner that does not keep up with their animals. The problem is as soon as those dogs are gone they will more than likely replace them with more. When the pound gets involved you can strike them in their wallets and in court since quite frankly by their actions they show their lack of heart or conscious and are totally devoid of any care of their creatures.

We may need to sell our two Runner Ducks. We don't want to, but we are renting our home as a vacation rental (pet friendly! which means dogs!) and really don't know how we are going to keep these ducks. A lot of maintenance and it just will be hard and not right to have to keep them in an enclosed area for days at a time while renters are here with their animals! Haven't made any final decisions about them, but if you are interested, PM me. They hatched on May 3rd.


The little one has a leaf stuck to its chest!

EEP! I will message you =o)

On another note I culled 5 eggs tonight 4 had blood rings or early quitters and one was infertile kinda bummed. i think there is one more but not 100% everything else i saw either movement and veins or good veins. i will candle again just before lock down.
 
now my chicken coop we are building next weekend. This is the side of my house/backyard I do not let hte kids play because it's out of site so it's really unused and wasted space. Hubby suggested I use that area to put the coop/run. If I do this it will save me tons of money because 3 sides are already enclosed. the open end I could put the coop there and an access door. then run the hose from the front yard over there since there isn't a hose pipe in the back at all.

so is this area chicken heaven?

we will cut down the brush in this bottom right, i can't move the tree. and i'd have to figure out how to cover the top but...we could look in from our sunroom as well as the kids bedrooms
 
I live in Pickens County Georgia, We have dog's run loose all the time. My neighbor calls them the chicken dog's. So when I see them around my property I get the 22 out or the 9 mm which ever is close to me and I fire off a couple rounds and they stay away for a while . They know what that sound is and take off running. I will shoot them if I have to I don't want to cause I have two dog's of my own and I keep up with them. They don't leave the yard with out me.
But if they get as far as my coop it will be dog heaven for them. Sad but it is what it is.
