Basic: 20ft x 10ft chicken coop being attacked by loose blue pit bulls. (Weight 60,80 lbs malle and female). I’m trying to address the problem by finding the owners and what not but I first saw them 3 weeks ago. Tried to break in and I told them to stop, they listened and left. They came back today between 2-4pm and broke in and the one rooster that was there (missexed at birth) fought them off, died doing so. It is a very low gauge wire surround the pen, chickens aren’t to strong. After the situation I reinforced the entrance where they broke in with higher(lower) gauge wire to about 2.5 ft it’s what I had available. They came back at 11pm and broke in above it. I had to let one of the dogs out of the door so they could leave. I don’t wish to shoot the dogs, and am dealing with it on other fronts… I was hoping maybe someone had cheap ideas I could use to reinforce the pen in case they come back before the issue is sorted. As a gun owner, I never want guns to be the answer
Besides deterring them can animal control come out, because shitty pet owners should have animals removed from them. You could possibly shit them with paintball type gun/ammo so they get scared off?
I have an old pink pellet gun I bought for my spouse years ago that I took with me. I don’t want to shoot them… But scare I’m fine with
(Animal control was closed, I ended up with non-emergency line)
But they want report as dangerous, or ignore… And I told them I don’t want the dogs killed for this( and to never tell my spouse that lol)
