Got to the Lotty about 10ish this morning to and noticed a right commotion in the next Lotty.
On closer inspection I found a small terrier type dog chasing the hens, there was feathers everywhere.
Nearly did myself a mischief climbing the fence and then had to rugby tackle the dog to catch it, the d**n thing started having a go at me so it got flying lessons over the fence >:(
Had a good look round at the hens all except one were still running about but when I picked it up it seamed to be okay and wandered off when I put it down.
I just hope the shock doesn't kill them off.
As for the dog it belongs to another Lotty holder and it is normally in a large pen. The owner and myself had a good look at the pen and the only conclusion we can come to is it climbed the six foot fence to get out of the pen.

Well done A137 :) Terriers are diggers, not normally jumpers. If there's the smallest hole under a fence, they'll get through.

I agree, and to be honest the fence where the hens are isnt that good so it probably went under that.
I had to go over it to get in but its kinda flimsy and covered in barbed wire so a few nasty scratches on my inner thigh :o
As for the dogs pen its a flagstone floor and very well made so as I said the only conclusion is it climbed over.

If there's a way, a terrier will find it :)

What are they doing keeping a dog at the lottie anyway? Wouldn't have thought that was a good idea - poor dog!
I am certain our Council wouldn't allow that - in my opinion - quite rightly too! :o
