  • That rooster did his duty and deserves the poultry medal of honour.

    I’ve read through the other comments here. Free roaming pitbulls are to my mind unacceptable. As others have already said, shooting them wouldn’t be unreasonable, but you have a dilemma with that, which is understandable even if I’m not sure I agree.

    I’m unclear on the exact timelines of all these things happening, but if they were looking for food wouldn’t they have eaten the Rooster? Possibly you interrupted them, or they were just dealing with the rooster aggression? It’s hard to understand how the hens were not victims after the rooster was killed, so I’m wondering how and why.

    If you believe they are looking for food, would you consider leaving an easier meal for them until a time that you feel like you have adequately reinforced the enclosure? That might attract other unwanted guests though depending where you are.

    You could also possibly trap them (in a pen for example) and call the authorities to correctly deal with it if you can’t find an owner for them.

    An electric fence is probably the only thing short of actually harming them that is going to keep them away.

    Hopefully they don’t come across small children before some action is taken.
