"
I hear you! Both our dogs are terrier chihuahua mixes, and they go after birds for sure. Chickens, anyway. But none since we shored up the fences to keep them out."
Just get one of these "chickens". Your dogs might have second thoughts and you may scare away anyone snooping around your property as a bonus. Please warn your neighbors in advance!

That was amazing Tom. I couldn't believe my eyes when he exited the coop.

Oh. My. God. Now THAT's a chicken!
btw, we now have the pigeon caged. We stopped putting out food but he kept coming back. So we finally gave in, put the food in the cage, and used the ol' stick-and-string trick.
Posted on 2 FB pages, plus my timeline and will post on Craigslist shortly. Hopefully someone with pigeons will step up to the plate and take him.

Found a pigeon keeper who has taken the bird and will try to find his owner from the information on the leg tag. If he can't locate the owner, I'm confident by the way he handled the bird that the bird has a good home!
