I had a frustrating day today. A neighbor's three dogs came in my barn and killed 8 out of 9 seven-week old pullets and 6 out of 13 mature hens. It was pretty gruesome. I went and talked to their house sitter and she half heartedly apologized. I left a note with my information, hopefully the owner does the right thing and compensates me for my birds. I will have to keep the rest of the flock locked up until their house sells and they gtfo.

Damn, that sucks. Hope they compensate you

She took took care of it, it's good to know there are still decent people in the world.

That's great to hear. I would have felt terrible if I was in her position.

Are you getting more chicks?

Yes, I reserved a dozen black stars that the local feed store has coming in. I prefer Australorps, but you take what you can get.

Clearly, the dog no longer lives?

Unfortunately, I didn't have a shot in a safe direction.
