I'm so sorry you all lost your chickens. Is there a way to contact the owner of those dogs? You should be able to have animals on your land as they do their dogs without the threat of losing them. It shouldn't be, oh, well, it's farm life.

@daledowner6696

Sorry about the chickens. Suggest you get a proper dog yourself to protect your chicks and family.

@ambertyler5844

As a fellow steward of the land and it's animals on a farm, my heart goes out to you all. My partner and I often say " their end we can not control, but the life we give them will always be our best." May you find comfort in knowing y'all did the same.

@lizcam5703

Maybe some day your own dog will protect your property. It's gut reaching losing a pet and family friend. No doubt it was the same dogs as before. Only thing you can do is report it to authorities and that report goes to your home insurance of some sort if you have it. Sad too. I know how much you loved them. Good luck with the new ones. Much love Elizabeth

@terristenacious2279

Maybe you need a big dog of your own to guard the chickens. If a dog grows up with the chickens they will guard them. I'm so sorry this happen to your chickens❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

@lynnsawatzky3272

All of our animals become family… tears being shed for you as I write this - and I’m a farm girl and understand the animals kingdom somewhat. Never easy to lose our friends…😢 🇨🇦

@balibelle63

That is so so sad. You need a guardian dog Pyrennean etc who will keep the dogs away, or a goose - they are suprisingly protective

@mloud4094

Sorry to hear about the chickens and the people that can’t keep their animals under control. Hang in there and keep on keeping on!!

The Magnolia tree looks great where you moved it to. John you should get yourself a “lumber brace” to help support your back when you are moving such big boulders. My goodness that rain is something else. Oh My God Tara, I wasn’t expecting your very sad news. I’m so sorry for all of you and your beautiful tame chickens. Do you know who the dog owner is. Surely they must know that you cannot let dogs run Free on private land. I’m so angry for you also. How bloody terrible and careless of the dog owner. If nothing else, the police should be informed so that they can let them know that they have a duty of care for other animals in the countryside. Once again I’m so sad for you. I hope you grow to love your new chickens. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Good morning Tara, John, Crusoe and Sawyer. So sad to hear about Phiphi, Sadza and Budza. Cannot understand where these dogs are coming from unless someone unleashed them carelessly. Our thoughts are with you. Life goes on, will miss them brought COLOUR WARMTH to your garden and farm. The pathway John is creating is outstanding. Your green house is blooming just beautifully. Glad to see the Magnolia Tree new place close to Luca, Sara, Luce's Olive Tree. Let us know how your Olive Trees are doing. Everything slowly and surely is looking grandiose. Hugs and kisses to all of you. Be well, safe and receive our comfort, our love from us🙏🙏🙏💖🌺🦋🐓🐔🐣🌺🥰🏡🇵🇹

@Jeannie.

You can build wood decking that is raised 6 inches or so above the ground for the chickens to run under.. build various ones around the gardens where the chickens roam. It will give them cover from hawks and dogs. Make them into viewing stations to put a couple of chairs on to sit and have wine and gaze over your grounds in the evening. Make them large enough that their little trails can't be grabbed by a dog reaching under.

@trishalyons7587

Tara that’s your farm, you’re derisions. No one should question what you do on your farm. I think you guys do a great job of taking care of planted earth, the trees and everything. I would love to be right there with you helping you see and plant. I just love it.❤

@hvanderp578

Oh how terrible, the lovely chickens, I can imagine you must be devastated, they were your pets😢😢😢

@kathypinto8075

So sorry for your loss ... losing our pets (part of our families) takes a piece of your heart with them. Never forgotten they will always be a part of the memories of the farm for all of us.

@jan-ss1br

I’m so sorry you lost your chickens… life is sad from time to time isn’t it. Our animals definitely mean a lot to us. I so admire you both for living the life you’re living and I love following your lovely life. You make your decisions about the farm and do what is best for you… that’s the beauty of living the life you’re living. ❤

@SJones-pr7tq

I am so sorry for the loss of your feathered babies. They, too, are little souls and are a part of our families. Thank you for loving and caring for them. The same thing happened to my daughter's chickens, recently by the neighbors dogs and the neighbor did not apologize or offer to replace them. Hopefully the loose dog problem can be resolved. My heart breaks for you all. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

@kathleenanderson9585

My heart goes out to you all, especially the little ones .

@bitterrootbling9062

I'm so sorry to hear of the loss of several of your chickens. I lost one to a stray dog right in front of me and it was heartbreaking. Get more chickens as soon as you can, they really are a joy. As for tilling your garden, you do what you need to do. Some years I till and some years I don't. This is your garden, no one else's. Blessings, and thank you for sharing your life with us.
