Poultry animals

My neighbors' chickens always get into my yard. It's really annoying, since then I have to chase them out. A lot of the time, the chickens are in my yard when I get back from walking the dogs. So I somewhat set the dogs on them. We hold their leashes, and walk them close to the chickens without actually letting the dogs devour them. We're quite good at this by now. But today it went wrong. You see, one of the dogs got a chicken by the end of its tail. it squawked even more than it had been squawking before. Chickens are some of the stupidest animals ever to exist.
