Get rid of the dog?

I need to but have you ever tried to give a dog away in this economy? I actually rescued the last 3 out of a litter. They where in pretty bad shape so I couldnt leave them. He is a pit bull mix. No one that likes dogs like this will want a mix. Second he is grown and people want pups. Ive seen dogs online around here for months that where free. Even pups. To make things worse it looks like my cat was a victim as well. I loved that cat.

Dog ate the birds? Or he killed them? Or just ate the poop??

Is the walkway shaded and protected from predators? If they don't have a few good places to hide, dust bathe, seek shade and the like, they will stay near the coop or other large building.

My solution: Chase them out of the areas that you don't want them. They are not allowed on the driveway here (yes it is dirt, but that only makes the poops harder to see). I see them on the driveway, they get herded off (hint: it is easier if you get a small stick, don't hit them with it, but use it like an arm extension when herding). No exceptions!!

We have some good news. Found the cat. Found one dead chicken out of the 6 we had so I guess he just killed them and dragged them off into the woods. So I guess we need more chickens. I really was getting fed up with them but we never let them run in the summer to see how much they helped cut down on the ticks. Just wish I didn't have to start over now. Part of me wants to just give up and use the coupe for storage. Bet ill just start over with 6 more hens.

We have very decisive ways of getting rid of dogs that are unruly and eat poultry out here in the boonies...and those ways don't depend on finding a new home for him.

Think I have just the tools for what you speak of. Only the wife is on me about that one. She even took over the feeding for the animals we have left. Only she could get the new horse collar on him but has yet to get him on the chain! He just runs off or hides in his dog house. Id like to dig a hole, but its not worth fighting over.
