Sucks when stuff like this happens. Even worse when a dog does it because they just kill for fun, not for food.
Oh Lea! I am so sorry to hear this! I would have to have a talk with the neighbor and bill him for the loss. Please keep us updated on any Quail that are returned. I am grieving with you. -Nina
Sorry for the loss just keep on going like y'all are God Bless again sorry that happened
I'm sorry to hear this.. what a sad annoying and needless trauma. I had chickens 40, and a weasel got into my coop the day after I released my new chicks to the hens. He killed all the babies.. I was devastated.. It's so hard to deal with such brutality. =( I do wish you well
That's a down side to the plastic fencing. We had the same issue with raccoons and opossums in the past. We keep an electric fence at knee level around or pens when we keep caged animals. Hate to hear your hard work was destroyed by a roaming animal.
its is a pity that dog owners aren't more responsible. I am sorry for your loss.
I'm so sorry. That's awful.
I know how you feel I felt the same way…we have dog, 2 cats, and 52 chickens now….once in while my dog get wild and try to attack our chicken area but have not kill any of them yet..we lost some out flock to fox and hawk…I never saw quail coop box before..great setup with medal fence…love your pond setup…we always learn how to build a better layout for our furry friends after bad drama like this…but we learned
Sorry to hear about this, Lea. Wow hard to believe that the dog didnt stop. Glad it didnt clean everything out but wow… Hope you are doing better today.
OH NO!!! I'm so sorry to hear this hun. :'( I hope you are going to go talk to your neighbors about replacements and damages with a stern warning to keep their dog at home. If you don't, you'll likely find yourself in this position again in a couple days. Now that the dog has had it's fun, it'll most definitely be back. 🙁 We went and got electric wire to put around the base and the middle of our chicken run for this exact reason. Unfortunately stuff can happen. I hope y'all find more of your quail babies and are able to get everything sured up a bit better. 🙂 Big hugs….
well I hope the owner is made aware so they can cover your damages …I'm so sorry Lea your so sweet hate this happened
How sad!
Oh I'm so sorry. That's so horrible.
Dam Dog!! A shame for sure! Sorry that sucks!! I be knocking on there door!!!!
I'm sorry this happened and you had to dispatch the injured chickens. We had neighbor dog issues here as well. I repeatedly told them to keep their dogs off our property and they just laughed. After two missing chickens I threatened that I had the right to protect my pets and if I caught them in the act I'd turn into Annie Oakley. We haven't seen the dogs since. My man is the peacemaker but I'm not so kind. I hope you find more quail. They sell vinyl coated hardware cloth. Get a roll just for the bottom of their pens. It cleans well with a brush.
so very sorry what a shock.
sorry to hear the bad news,,ive had that happen before,,its sickening to come out an see all the dead bodies,,i gave a thumbs up,,not because i liked what happened,,
Sad news, nothing to be done just move on and upgrade the mesh and possibly the Chicken run. 🙁
i love dogs but i would of put that dog down right there an then srry for your lose : (
Sorry that this happened, it would be quite the shock to have all of this unfold. Hopefully the dog owner would replace everything and compensate you.
Rebuild/Re-enforce and keep moving forward is all we can do…
Hopefully the dog won't be back… if he does, if you let him live, send him home with a chicken tied around his neck…
Have a good'nnn
Oh! This is so heartbreaking! Oh what sweet neighbors to bring over the quail they found… oh you know who's dog did it – did you talk to the owners? Are they going to reimburse you for the damage he did – oh Im so sorry – this is just so sad.
Oh Lea I am so sorry this happened friend! Hope you find out who the owner is, because this time it was the sweet animals but what if next time it is a human baby. We pet owners need to be responsible for our furry four legged kids.
Thanks foe sharing
I'm so sorry, Lea. I hope you are able to find a few of your quail and repairing the damage doesn't set you guys back at all. Sending prayers your way!
Oh so sorry for all your losses. I can't understand why people even own dogs and let them run loose. Hugs
OH so sorry for you Chick loss.. So sad… Big hugs… 🙁
Came over from your recent quail video.This happened to my grandparents.New neighbors moved in with two German shepherds.My grandparents came home and caught them killing tbe chickens.Lost close to 30 and neighbor did not offer to pay them.A month later the people bought their kids a pony and the dogs pulled it down and killed it.Then tbe neighbors got rid of the dogs.
Was it clear how the dog got into the chicken run? Jumping over, busting through?
