Sam sleeps soundly
Bad Sam Sam was not raised to protect poultry but he has been running the fox off the fields whenever he sees them. So we figured our 13 chickens would be safe just like the remaining 3 ducks, esp...

The sly "fox" was back again today.
Two chickens went missing in about 10 mins. This time the culprit was caught with the evidence still alive. After paying no attention to the ducks for years or the chickens for months and never in our sight, VERY BAD SAM was caught in the act. The chicken he had will live, one is still missing.
Not cool Sam! I am so sorry!
I hope you find a way to stop the behavior... We "flogged" our LGD with a chicken she had just killed and was eating, it seemed to sink it we were not happy about her killing them. That was back in late 2011, and she wasn't quite 2 yrs old...
Now, I can look out the window and see chickens sitting on her, or dustbathing next to her in the hole she dug under the trailer. I don't know if she grew out of killing, or if the flogging lesson stayed with her, but I am happy they are co-existing!
