Set traps around the chicken coop. Fuck irresponsible owners like that, catch the dog, send it to the pound with a photo of the chickens it's killed. This is the main reason I haven't gotten chooks yet,so many stray cats in my area.

>>2779275
Get a few nice cocks (not the ones you're thinking of, the fighting kind). They can take an untrained dog.

If that doesn't help, a crossbow with hunting bolts works wonders. Don't fall for the gun meme, normal bullets will probably overpenetrate and not kill quickly enough (proper self-defense rounds may work, but even those aren't reliable against dogs, as their torsos are just too thin compared to humans). Wireshot would also work, but is banned in many places.

>>2779275
posion it
i cant say how though, im a day off of a 3 day ban and ive been banned for talking about this before
but its much easier than you think

Depending on where you live you are fully within rights to put down those dogs. In most places there's legal protection for farmers putting down animals that harm their livestock.

Get some game hens, American Game, Cubalaya, or Sumatra would do perfect. No dog could touch them if they're free-ranging. An Asil rooster could probably fuck a dog up too

Anon I will post again but I feel your pain. I woke up on Easter to the same scenario. Got 6 chickens and my 3 breeding heritage turkeys. I’m still devastated. This poor guy held on for a week before he died. He fought to protect our buff Orpington… our only chicken left from the first flock. Rest In Peace Lone Ranger!

>>2779275
OP, just use this if you wanna kill the dogs

>>2779288
I’ll say how.
Antifreeze works great.
Xylitol is also a fantastic way to get rid of unwanted shitbeasts.
But >>2779309 when I reported the incident to the cop they TOLD me to kill them if I see them on property again and they have no issues whatsoever considering the past history. >>2779455
Was the second time a shitbull got through my fence and the run to get at my chickens. Like the niggers that own them they’ll do anything for that chicken leg.
Fuck pitbulls and fuck they’re owners.

>>2779459
I spent two years getting these turkeys ready for breeding and it took no time at all for a shitbull to ruin it all.

>>2779462
There’s hope. Here’s this years thanksgiving dinner and I got her the day after the Easter morning massacre.
We’ll get new grey slate or Spanish heritage turkeys in the spring and we’ll rebuild.

>>2779455
Did the shitbulls not eat them as well, and killed them for amusement like they did mine?

>>2779480
Correct. They’re just savages. Kill one move onto the next. Never allow one near a child. Here’s Lone Ranger beforehand with a bucket on his head. He was aggressive as hell so I had just put him on isolation

>>2779459
>Xylitol
thats the one i got banned for suggesting
its a safe to handle powder that you can buy cheap online in bulk

>>2779309
In Arizona you generally can, but then there are laws about discharging firearms in the city, but then there's a state law that says cities cannot pass any firearm law more restrictive than state law or they'll get all they're state funding pulled... I know you are not lawyers so give me your best schizo advice.

>>2779713

Why is it always the fucking pitbulls that do this shit. I never seen any other type of dog go through so much just to kill another living creature. The owners are always the biggest faggots too.

>>2779455
Bless you for caring so much about your chickens. I wish you luck in removing any and all shitbulls threatening your animals.

>>2779889
Much appreciated fren. I’ve lost lots of birds to various causes but nothing so heartbreaking as the shitbull attacks. >>2779859
is right. They’re the fucking worst dogs and worst dog people there are.
>it’s not the breed it’s the owner
Other side of their mouth
>chihuahuas are was more aggressive
Fucking idiotic retards. All shitbulls and shitbull owners should be put down.

>>2779275
>Step 1
Talk to your neighbor. Show them pictures of the dead/dismembered chickens. Make it very clear that their pet is killing yours, and that you WILL be putting out traps to prevent repeats of the issue.
>Step 2
Actually put out live traps. If the neighbors do right, apologize, compensate you for lost birds, and take control of their pet, then these will never see use. If the neighbors are cunty about it, well now you've live-caught the dog, have evidence, and can drop it off at your county's kennel.
Do not return the dog to the owners; bring it to your appropriate animal control shelter. Though said neighbors will be pissed and treat you like the fun police "BCUZ MY DOGGOS IN DOGGO JAIL", just remember, and remind them, that they had been warned, and had every opportunity to control their pet.
>Step 3
If they don't contain their dog after having to deal with a trip to the pound (any sane owner will at this point), then you can start putting out lethal traps, and start following advice like >>2779309, >>2779286, and >>2779459 give.

>>2779275
OP, it's not the dogs.

>>2779275
Peace was never an option

poison the fucker

So true!

>>2779456
you niggas js looking for any excuse to torture animals huh

Shitbulls deserve to be tortured

>>2779309
>In the UK,
>shoot
But they are nogunz?!?

>>2783136
guarantte I can beat you fist to fist nigga.

Just about all dogs when they pack up become killing machines. House near me has a pack of mutts, daytime they shit all in my yard, piss on every truck wheel. At night they kill every new born deer on my land. Hauled off the third one they killed the other day. They've ran at me aggressively when in the woods

>>2779275
Bear trap for satisfaction. Poisoning for more subtle and effective results. The choice is yours

>>2780832
>then you can start putting out lethal traps
And then you end up having to deal with tard of an owner who will want to take revenge on you.

>>2784725
First, you put a live trap out for the owner...

What if the dog is in a different wieght class? Mma fags are so delusional.

>>2779275
This is one point where I agree with gun owners.

Any animal domestic or wild one coming onto your property to bother your livestock can be shot.

>>2785888
what is there to not agree with gun owners with?

>>2779275
depends on the dog and it's training. mine would totally catch a cat off my property, but on my property it wouldn't.

>>2785888
Randomly shooting people's pets is illegal in the US :^)

>>2786103
>Randomly
it's killing livestock, fucktard

>>2779275
Is your coop really that badly designed? OP I'd never admit this.

>>2785898
nta, but:
>You NEED a .50AE, and a .44 Magnum, and a 12ga to be safe in the woods. There's bears around, ya KNOOOOW??
>Why would you carry a knife / get selfdefense-training / wear a vest? Just buy a Glock 19 and shoot everybody who comes within 15m of you!
Both things I've unironically heard "gun-right activists" say. Though the "shoot everybody" took some prodding and pointing out how long drawing from full concealment takes (with a gun - with knives, it's much quicker).
I hate those gunnuts almost as much as hoplophobes. Guns are useful tools when you have to deal with animals or known aggressors, but they're not the be-all-end-all some people claim them to be. Even for classic self-defense, where you can't take action until you're actually being attacked, handguns suck compared to fixed blades.

>>2779279
My neighbours chooks beat up the cats.

>>2779279
I don't think a cat can fuck up a full grown large chicken. You just have to keep chicks separated which you would do anyway. It would have to be a huge ass cat to kill a full grown chicken.

>>2779275
>>2779279
whilst I agree that loose pets are annoying(mostly the stupid owners) why on earth would you not have a secure enclosure? birds of prey, racoons, possums, you name it can get to the chickens. you are just as irresponsible as those pet owners by having your shit unsecured. it's like when retards kill every living creature that wanders ito their yard because they are "pests" and "are after their livestock" when the irony is that they are killing native species to protect their invasive livestock because they are too low iq to build a proper enclosure.

>>2787491
/out/ isn't ready for this conversation lol

>>2787256
Can confirm cats will be curious and can def kill a chick or pullet but once they’re grown or if you have a rooster cats will only prowl around looking for mice and voles.
>>2787491
Nta but I’ve had pitbulls get through three layers of fencing to murder my animals so kindly get fucked you shitbull loving faggot.
>your fence wasn’t good enough
Nigger I’ve seen pibbles chew through wooden perimeter fence, get through the garden fence and tear apart the run and anything living inside. Pitbulls, the owners, the apologists all deserve the same fate. Rope yourself.
>anon you didn’t put razor wire and an auto turret up it’s clearly your fault

>>2787618
You're that bad at building fencing? You're city raised aren't you.

>>2787618
never did i mention anything about shitbulls. take your meds and learn to build. if you have shtbulls running loose on your property you're a retard anyways.

>>2787620
Read the thread retard.

>>2787650
build an enclosure retard

>>2787659
Don’t have nigger dogs nigger.

>>2787663
you're the one that has them on your property killing your chickens Jose.

>>2787665
Nigbull apologists
>it’s never the dog or the owner’s fault
>always the innocent livestock, cat, child, or old woman’s fault for not being better prepared

>>2783148
That's a myth. You just need a license for a shotgun.

>>2787822
Incorrect. UK is nogunz and it's a nightmare to try and get a license. They make it impossible by design. You're not going to be able to even buy a gun.
Ask me how I know.

>>2779275
blow that nigga head smoove off.

>>2787978
Fucking hell dude you're retarded

>>2779288
Do it before the shitbulls eats a kid, or a real dog.

>>2779456
Wildlife can eat stuff left lying around, and if you leave sharps lying around instead of using poison that could get lost and create a hazard in the snow, if OP is in America, shoot them, cop already gave the okay. Shooting is humane as long as you finish them quick if the first shot doesn't do it. Neighbur of mine put down one of their dogs this way after their last one took a long time to die at the vet's.

>>2779516
>>Xylitol
>thats the one i got banned for suggesting
>its a safe to handle powder that you can buy cheap online in bulk
That's a sweetener used in chewing gum and mouthwash.

>>2780832
BE CAREFUL about setting any lethal traps. Legally speaking you can be on the hook due to booby traps in general being a big no no in most jurisdictions. Check your laws on what you can and cannot do because it is a very restricted thing and the last thing you want is felonies

>>2779275
buy a spool of 4ft welded wire and some t-posts and throw up a fence. While you are at it get a large live animal trap and just set it outside along the perimeter of the fence, unbaited.

unfenced chickens die to dogs. fenced chickens will die to raccoons or possums unless you have something that peaks their curiosity and ensnairs them. after that chickens will die to hawks. beyond hawks chickens will just die for no reason at all.

just this evening a chicken fell from its perch and looked like it was dead on the floor but like a drunk man that falls down it must have thought "shit this is a good a spot as any" and just stayed lying down until i went in to pick it up (i saw it out cold on my surveylance cam and thought it had died). That being said ive had chickens actually die in the coop for no reason at all.

Also keep a gun loaded. I have a suppressed 22lr pistol loaded with subsonics for raccoons/possums, a 12ga double barrel with nitro turkey for when i hear geese passing by and a mosin nagant with a stripper clip of soft points for deer

>>2779286
>Get a few nice cocks
My cock is mostly a silkie pussy but i did discover that he kicked the crap out of the resident red-tailed hawk, once... Other than that he mostly just keeps watch and alerts me when a hawk is outside and im the one who has to step outside to scare it off. Just the other day a hen jumped the 4ft fence because it was being chased by a hawk and all i had to do was crack my window open and the hawk noped out (i knew the sudden noise alone would chase it off). Get something big like a brahma rooster.

>>2779275
Is there any fowl you can keep that can defend themselves against pitbulls?
I'm thinking swans or some other aggressive big bird.

>>2794556
Turkeys

>>2794557
Turkeys won't work. Toms are only aggressive when you're trying to feed them. They're little bitches otherwise.

>>2779275
If the owners haven't strived to reimburse you somehow you have every legally right to kill them. Pitbull's don't deserve life.

>>2796638
Sue the shit out of them in a small claims court. Ask for their home owners insurance.

>>2796647
Most dog owners are cool, I've known a few farmers whose dog ate a neighbors X and they offered to pay or do some work for them. But Shitbull owners are a different breed of retard, no amount of training in the world will ever account for the stupid decision they made in allowing shitbulls to continue breeding, so I wouldn't doubt it if they just didn't do anything at all.

>>2779275
The chickens are on your property? Shoot it. The chickens are off your property? Control your animals ffs

>>2796656
He's too stupid to build a coop so...

>>2796651
That's why ya go after the home owners insurance!

This thread sure is something. Lots of dog poisoning advice, gardening tips, lawyering, and some neckbeard straight out of 2009 "trusting the cold steel of his blade over puny guns" for self defense. Godawful.

>>2780832
Don't threaten your neighbor. You don't want a neighbor that has a grudge against you, especially if youre in an area where you dont know anyone else. Just set up a trap. If it dies and they find out, play dumb. All you knew was that something was killing your chickens. If they don't, find a way to get rid of the shitbill corpse.

>>2780832
This is horrible advice.
After the initial conversation with the neighbor expecting pleasantries and their response is in any single way other than the most apologetic.
It's done.
You never talk to them again, ever.

It's straight impound/trap/kill the dog.
Just buy cameras and be ready for the chimpout. It's coming.
First time you see neighbors fucking around with your stuff, it's pretty much automatic escalation of call the cops and get no tresspassing.
If you catch them trying to poison your chickens, shoot them.
You're legally allowed to defend anything that is considered irreplaceable with deadly intent.
Living things, including animals are considered irreplaceable.

>>2801192
This.

Cops told me to just kill the damn dog next time.

Most shelters won’t do shit and are shitbull apologists.

I hate how everyone is always like “just talk to the neighbor!” I have never seen that de escalate a situation, only lead to more confrontations and petty revenge.
The wife bought the house at 19 then got stuck here when shit went tits up in ‘08. House is paid off just hoping to get it listed and get moved somewhere more rural before shit goes tits up again.

throw contaminated meat to them, not only put poison them but also glass fragments to make double sure they die

>>2801209
>>2801192
>>2801172
If talking to your neighbor doesn't de-escalate a situation, then you may want to learn how to talk to people. Yes you're mad, with every reason to be, but you should limit things that are undeniable facts.
>Your chickens are dead.
>They have predatory animals as pets.
>You will be taking steps to protect your surviving chickens.
Subtext is key here; state that you're warning them, as they are loving and responsible pet owners as well as neighbors you'd really like to stay on good terms with, so they don't let their pet go full nigdog, but do not in any way accuse them directly - at least not at first. If they get defensive, just point out you're being a proactive and friendly neighbor that has the best interest of their family pet at heart by warning them. Bonus points if you act more on the dumb side and say "I think there's coyotes or something harassing the coop" and just leave them assuming you're the idiot, but also the idiot who is trapping varmints on their own property. Once there's verifiable evidence (i.e. you just live/otherwise trapped their dog, or the heckin pupper is vomiting profusely) then you can be a bit more assertive in the situation if it comes to that.

>>2801795
>then you may want to learn how to talk to people
this has literally never been the situation and I am 100% assured you have never had to deal with another person in your life.

People Are Horrible.
Have you ever seen a woman where her child is bullying another child, it's even on video tape?
Imagine that ramped up to a thousand percent if you dare imply her precious doggo is the bad guy.
Yes you need to accuse them, because you need to see the clear and blatant lie on their face.
This means this person lacks all civility.
You know exactly what kind of person you're dealing with and at which point everything I said is going to happen.

In fact screw it, just get cameras now.
Kind of hard to ignore an 80lb white pitbull coincidentally walking from your neighbors house, killing your animals, and walking back to their house.
What do we call a coincidence? A coincidence.
What do we call two coincidences? Not a fucking coincidence.

>>2801209
I've talked to my neighbors plenty of times, once again it's about the persons initial response. It lets me know instantly how this is going to play out.

Hell have a black county police officer three doors down. One day I come outside and one of his kids is for some reason bouncing in the back of my truck. Don't know why kids are retarded.
>Hey come over here
>look you can't just be jumping on other people's things like that, how would you feel if I walked up to your room and smashed all your things?
Later went up to the father, let him know calmly I ain't mad at the kid. Let him know exactly what I said and I'm not looking to get him punished, but man to man I felt he had a right to know his kid had a talking to.

Clearly a different situation than your animal went rogue and killed my livestock.
We are talking multiple misdemeanors and literal felonies assuming the cost of the chickens is X price if we assume the total investment.
Ain't no small time shit.

>>2801796
This. >>2801795
>if talking to your neighbor doesn’t
blah blah blah
Bullshit

You’ve clearly never been in a scenario where you’ve had to interact with a human.

“Just talk to them!”

People, especially in urban environments, are absolute retarded nightmares to try to reason with and incapable of separating emotions.
Me included.
The act of “talking” to them is a confrontation. Like it or not. People hate confrontation and tend to react in fight or flight. Since it’s not a scenario where flight is easily an option for either party the only thing left is a fight and before you realize it you’re already in one.
In fact, you were in a confrontation the second your asshole neighbor acted unneighborly and didn’t manage their mutt.
People are small petty and cruel and act accordingly.
