I'll check out that link, although I'm pretty sure our solution is to reinforce the coop and keep them separated. We will be getting some more soon! I can't believe how much I miss them.

We've had losses in the past too - sometimes in broad daylight when we were home. Foxes, raccoons, and maybe a hawk. We've been pretty sure it's a neighbor/stray dog when the carcasses are still there. A true predator would have taken the chicken with them to eat. I recently saw this article (http://www.sleddogslow.com/hack-chicken-killing-dog/) about "fixing" dogs that kill chickens ... but I'm not sure how well it works. I hope you decide to try again!Carmen Nhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11008548250481788853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5882959808811184859.post-61069340083736501892017-05-06T10:29:33.508-05:002017-05-06T10:29:33.508-05:00Thanks, I just wish it hadn't been our dogs th...Thanks, I just wish it hadn't been our dogs that did it.

As much as I would love to have a few hens, with bears and other animals here on the peninsula, your story is why I won't.
