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


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)
