Well, it looks like there is another murderous dog in the neighborhood. Charlie let his chickens out to range this afternoon, then came home from work again before 4pm to find a small black dog (about 18" tall and no collar evident) chewing on one of the "girls".. and piles of feathers where it had apparently feasted on 3-4 others. The dog took off up through the center of the garden and then disappeared.
Inside the coop were several hens without tails and one poor hen who got away but not before the dog bit it's neck. It's a sad day here. We'll be watching for the dog to return, and have the camera ready as we had to do the last time. Dogs seem to return for more.. once they have been successful in the kill.
