I do not understand the mathematics behind the dilemma. I’m assuming only the firts chicks cost money, because down the line they will breed.
But feeding them, housing them - vitamins and doctoring costs a lot of money.
So anyone with couple or more chickens - how much does it cost to have them on the table? And realistically how many eggs do you get?
If your animal is on other people’s property murdering other animals and causing property damage you shouldn’t be allowed to keep that animal. Especially if there are kids in the neighborhood.
I don’t disagree, but it’s a civil matter & shooting another person’s pet here will get you a court date unless they are attacking a human.
Yeah our neighbors dogs are now registered as an aggressive animal and a dangerous animal. One killed two birds and another killed a third bird and lashed out at me.
The neighbors effectively neglect the pups and don’t take them for walks or whatever. They get bored and chew through the fence to get to our flock.
Gotta be a responsible dog owner and keep the pup in your own yard…
