[QUOTE="wby257, post: 259477, member: 1035"] We have had 100's of chickens and the only thing we have lost chicken to is the neighbors dog. The chickens went in the coop at night and free range during the day. All 3 times the dog killed in the middle of the day. First two times we were at work and neighbor denied his dog was running loose. Even thou there were chicken feathers in his yard. I had told him then if I catch him killing chickens I would kill the dog. The third and final time I was home and caught him killing birds. And yes the dog died,over that summer he had killed close to 100 birds. The first time was 47 birds the sec time was 38 birds. The last time was 12. Yes the Sheriff was called all 3 times. They said if you dont catch him in the act there is not much they can do. He did tell me if it was my chickens and I caught him he would shoot him. He went over to the neighbors house and told them you have to tie your dog up. Over the summer I have trapped many Skunks and Coons and one Possum. They would all go in and steal eggs but never hurt a chicken. I have pictures on trail cams of them coming in the coop and running off with eggs. We also have Coyotes and Fox in the area and never a problem with them. It helps to have dogs in kennels. Just the barking will send the Fox and Coyotes running. [/QUOTE]
