Thanks for your reply!

Obviously I could spend money on making my garden 'dog proof' but actually feel it is the responsibility of the dog owner to do that in his garden!!!!
Until he is prepared to take responsibility for his dog, I would be taking a calculated risk by introducing chickens again!!
I could of course make life difficult by reporting the incident to the DOH, (and all the other occasions that I have since found out of the dog doing damage to poultry) but I love living where I am and need to consider local politics and harmony. Its a very difficult one in which I end up being the injured party!!

awww that's so sad Clare.  Can't you make the garden secure, it's such a shame you have to go without chickens in your life because of others.

CHICKEN FOUND!

Further to my last posting - a neighbour reported seeing a hen not far from our house - was it mine -YES IT WAS!!!!!!  It seems as though the dog must have let it go!  :tongue2: She was hungry, but fine! I have sent it to live with its sisters in a local secure paddock tended by a bird friendly farmer!
A happy ending for the hens at least - may give it another go in the spring when we see if my neighbour can keep his dog under control!

Sorry to hear your news clare, but please dont let it put you off keeping chickens in the future. I'm sure you will work something out.
