Same thing happened to me last week. While my 6 hens were free-ranging some neighbors dog got out (pure breed Pointer) and killed 2 hens, and severely wounded another. I got off a couple shots (pictol) at it but missed.
Two days later the dog is back! I grabbed my pistol again and ran after it. Caught up with the owner, who was touring around the neighborhood in a golf cart - while letting the dog run loose.
I gave the owner a serious mouthful and made it clear that I will shoot that dog on site if it enters my property again (this time with a 12 gauge....).
Yesterday. something got another hen. Just a huge pile to feathers left.
I don't feel safe letting my hens free-range anymore. Hate the thought of keeping them locked up their entire lives...
