My neighbor's dog just killed six of our chickens. Four were chicks just last year and their eggs have just sized up in the last couple of months. One was an older hen and the other, the roo. My neighbor is quite remorseful and I am wondering what compensation should be asked? I don't want to "soak" him but geez...you raise them under heat lamps for about 5 weeks, you wait about 6 months to get an egg, you wait for the eggs to get bigger to sell them, you clean the coop, you run the electric cord out to add light and keep water from freezing, I feed organic....These hens were on a roll laying beautiful eggs that I sell. What is fair? I guess nothing is fair for the poor chickens.
