The Neighbors Dog

About a week ago, we had a little excitement on the farm. The neighbor's dog has taken a liking to my flock.

Any time we have the gate open, he comes a running and heads straight to my chickens.

Sadly, Tuesday evening he got a hold of my turkey. The flock male didn't even see the dog coming. After he started running off with her, my rooster and turkey started screeching and I went chasing! Unfortunately, I lost sight of the dog and my turkey. SO we are down 1 turkey.

There is question of whether or not one of the turkeys left may be a female. We are hoping so, otherwise there goes our spring turkey breeding!

I talked to the neighbor, and they are going to work harder about keeping the dog in their yard. Usually he is running all over the neighborhood. I also asked her to replace the turkey, but I am afraid that is unlikely.
