My dog shredded the neighbors pet chicken...
My neighbors kids science experiment was successful and they became the owner of 3 baby chicks. For context, we don't live in the country. Fast forward a year and the kids have 2 roosters and a chicken as their pets.
Last night my wife comes in the living room and says, "Hun, something bad happened". I leap up and run to the back door and there is the chicken. No need to check its pulse, its dead. My dog has this "I've been waiting a year for this moment" gleeful look on her face and my wife is mortified. I look left and it looks like someone cut open a down pillow on the lawn.
This is bad, Its 8:30pm if the 3 and 5 yo look out their window they will learn life lessons that I'm not trying to be a part of. I immediately run into the garage and get the shop vac. The wife and I are vacuuming up the feathers as fast as we can. I felt like I was covering up a murder, I guess I was.
Now the tough part, I have to go tell the neighbor. I knock and the dad opens the door, I whisper (the kids are right there) "are you missing a chicken?" He steps onto the porch and closes the door behind him.
Right away he was like, no big deal, they can sorta fly and that what happens. In fact he was more apologizing to me. I felt horrible, I mean horrible. His parting wards were, "Well I bet the dog had some fun!"

Anyone who raises chickens in a non-rural environment has to accept that possibility. I have friends who raise chickens here in town and their own dog got one. And a fox got another.

I thought it was a prerequisite on TGR to have crazy neighbors. Be glad he was cool about it!

Kinda sounds like poochy did your neighbor a favor. Good for her. One down two to go.

Sounds like Dad didn't like the chicken. If you feel bad, buy them a new one, they're cheep (pun intended).

Heh. When my oldest was 4 grandma was supposed to be watching her while my wife & I were out killing chickens. My daughter escaped and came wandering over to the slaughter zone. I walked out of the coop with a chicken that was freaking out, my daughter saw and was upset. She said, "Oh no, don't kill the chicken dad." I said, "Do you like chicken for dinner? This is where it comes from." her immediate response was, "Kill another one dad." So awesome.
My wife decided she wanted a golden doodle so she bought a standard poodle to mate with our golden retriever. That little fucker is a chicken killing, bunny killing machine. Good cages and pens are required around my house now.You are what you eat.

Yeah, I have no issues killings chickens or any tasty animals. Kids pets are a little different. The dad was totally good with it. Ive moved on to having a laugh about it. I offered to buy a chicken, he really didnt care.
You just never know how people will react. funny shit.

This was my first thought. Dad probably thinks they stink and make too much noise. Which they do.
In fact, you're not allowed to keep roosters in Seattle, only chickens.
My new house came with a chicken coop. Fuck that shit. I don't eat enough eggs (2-3 a week) for it to be worth my time....Some will fall in love with life and drink it from a fountain that is pouring like an avalanche coming down the mountain...

I wonder what he's going to tell the kids. It's probably a good thing they weren't looking out the window when it happened.

My 7 yr old son has been associating meat with dead animals ever since I attempted to subtly hint that's where it comes from. He was about 5 when he figured it out and now when he tries an unfamiliar meat he asks what kind of dead animal he's eating.
"mmmmm...I love dead pig!"If it's green, smoke it...if it's pink, poke it

If you're a gardener chickens are a good way to keep down the slug population.

My neighbor's dog got into our coop and killed five chickens. My wife was pissed, I was relieved.
They do keep bugs and mice under control, but the tradeoff is chicken shit all over the yard, deck, etc.

This is Milo and Cleo
And this is the story of them killing a chicken.
There is a park close by that the city started to build, but never finished. It's about 40 acres, and most of it is pretty rough, so it has become the de facto off-leash dog park of the neighborhood. There are houses along one side, and lately it seems like every third house in this town has backyard chickens. That day, about ten of them escaped their yard, and were free-ranging on the edge of the park. A bright white one caught Cleo's eye, and both dogs were running at them full-steam. Now Milo is only in it for the chase. He's running around barking at each individual bird, acting like it's a game, but Cleo is a little hunter, so dead chicken(s) will be inevitable. I managed to grab her, but not before she got one. She looked pretty cute with the sheepish 'you caught me' face and a mouth full of feathers, but taking a picture of her right in front of the "chicken farmer" would've been bad form.
The woman who owned them was upset, but actually apologized to me for not keeping them in her yard. She was even petting Milo. I went back the next day with a little 'I'm sorry' gift and offered to replace the chicken, but the guy said something along the lines of "shit happens".
I swear that dog was grinning all the way home.

I have a "My dog killed a friend's chicken" story too.
Drive my daughter to girl scout meeting at a very rural house with the dog. House owner lady implores me to let the dog out. I don't want to. This goes on and on. Finally, OK, whatever, I let the cattle dog out of the back of the wagon and she literally launches out and hits the ground running straight to the coop I didn't see.
Dog nails a chicken running loose, starts shaking it like a rag doll, feathers flying like a pillow fight. I yell, "Scooter, DROP!" She stops, looks at me, opens her mouth, fibrilating chicken drops to the ground. Many 9 year old girl scouts stare in horror.
Owner was OK with it, we bought them a new chicken anyway.Well maybe I'm the faggot America
I'm not a part of a redneck agenda

If you have chickens, it's inevitable that they will be harried by dogs. If you have certain kinds of dogs like huskies or malamutes, it's inevitable that they will kill a chicken. I think the SOP here is you owe them like $10.
I'm surprised they have 2 roosters together as pets. That usually doesn't work very well. If your dog killed one of the roosters, you actually did them a favor.
