My dog(s) was also a bird dog but she never harmed a chicken, my boys would love to harm them but do not want to risk my wrath. I had a beagle kill half my chickens, and offered to off more until I walked him around to every dead chicken, put each one on his head and told him what I thought of his work ethic. He then refused to look at another live chicken, went home and never came back. It's a domination thing for dogs. They will not allow your hand on their head if they are not submissive to you. I imagine having a dead chicken on it's head was a bit humiliating. Anyhow, if you do that I don't imagine you will have to lose another chicken to the dog. I love that my chickens are free range. Am looking forward to reading more of your posts. Doris Greetings, just found your blog and methinks you are a kindred spirit.

It's always sad when you lose them. I have learned though that it's always a good idea to get a few more than you think you need. I've also learned that if you have boys AND girls, you're almost guaranteed to loose the GIRLS. :( Those little roosters know how to survive! I do hope you have better luck! That’s such a shame.
