For the Love of Chickens

A few years back, we used to have a yard full of chickens! It was a lot of fun to watch them free-range and we would still have them today if we could keep the neighbouring dogs out of our yard.  We lost so many chickens that way, and even though we complained to the neighhours, no one took it seriously. They felt bad when a chicken died, but they could not keep their dog out of our fenced in yard.  The dogs would slide under the fence, or come around on the lake side but our poor chickens were being traumatized. We ended up re-homing them, and burning down the co-op. That was the end of that.

Henry tried to chase the dogs off, but most of the time they would come over when Henry was inside.

No wonder my husband wants to move to a place with no neighbours.  🥴
