It's ridiculous that the dogs have not been destroyed nor the owners made to pay for damages, especially when the authorities know who the dog owners are. I hope things are sorted out soon, or no one will feel safe. Take care, glad you all made it home safely in any event. You're right the new brood of chicks will add a bit of happiness for your family.
