aunt Milica visited dad, and we came by to see her. She usually stays 2-3 days, then her brother-in-law, or now his son, comes to take her home. (... 37 words...)
The next day we went to Klincaid to check on the chickens. Almost on time - we saw the dog run out. Had we been there half an hour earlier, we could have saved them, or most of them. But it didn't happen that way. The dog barged in - the loose end of the chicken wire was safe from chickens, but it gave easily under the push of a dog in berserk mode. It didn't eat any, it just went breaking the neck of each. We counted twenty one dead chicken, and guessed three must have hidden somewhere, or that it dragged them away to eat them later. We did find dead chicken in the back before, while we had Bobi, but also later from other stray dogs, who'd roam freely. They'd bring them and eat them undisturbed, so it was possible this one did so. The priest's house was also uninhabited, so it could be there.
So the experiment failed. We can't have chicken here until we build some serious fortification, or join the villagers in their sport of leaving poisoned bait for these dogs (which then kills the cats too).

I dug a hole, about 90x50x50 cm, and buried them all together. Then we found one hen, somewhere in the back, and took her home. Put her separately in the cage, knowing well that the hens from the coop would just kill her, they don't accept solo intruders easily.
The next day, on 9th, we found more - ended up with two roosters, three hens.
