We put the 5 bigger chicks out in the coop last week. They had all their mature feathers and we excitedly prepped the coop, cleared the area, made a fence around the coop and generally had a fun time working together as a family for our future egg laying poultry.
The kids have not lost their zeal about the chicks. They still run down after school to check, feed and play with the chicks. Molly hugs and kisses them each. She is a pro chicken catcher. We put her in the cage and she quickly rounds them and hands them off to us. Very cute!
Yesterday, I saw our neighbors puppy-eating Russian Husky in our yard. She has never been out of her electric fence yard in the 5 years we've lived here. I panicked! She has killed many a puppy who went into her yard and I would never let my kids out while she was around. She is MEAN!! Her big brother is meaner, but I didn't see him. I told Jeff to run down to the chickens and check on them. They were all malled to death. Brutally killed in their own home. I was TICKED!! The kids were upset!! I haven't been able to talk to the owners yet, but . . . . grrrrrrrrr!! I KNOW their chickens, but their my kids chickens. Mother Bear is out!
And then there were 4. We still have the 4 baby chicks, but still . . .

Grrrr...
That is not a very pleasant thing to deal with after a lovely vacation. Sorry to hear about your chickens. Dogs are DUMB.
I can't believe that! What dangerous "pets" to have as neighbors! Sorry kids!
Those dogs need to die. They scare me to death and I think Ben needs to go night hunting................
My kids would have been bawling! However, I might not have been so sad...maybe you could send that dog my way.
