He took the chicken that his dog killed and taped the dead chicken to his dogs neck and left it there for weeks until it started to rot, then finally took it off. The dog never bothered the chickens again. My wife a 100% city girl was horrified. This was a new one to me. I never ceases to amaze me (and not always in a positive way) what people will think up and do.
