Why some people shouldn't own dogs...
Update - AC picked them up. Apparently they got loose from someone who was dog sitting and has been out looking for them all day. He had already called AC this morning. So as much as I hate that my girls paid a price, I'm willing to accept that this was truly an accident and will not be pressing charges. I'll let you guys know how Dot does in the upcoming days.

You are a far better person than I... I would have been pressing charges and trying to get my animals replaced.

Re: Why some people shouldn't own dogs...
Sorry for your loss Anna. It takes a pretty level head to not lash back, but if it truely is an accident then I think your doing the right thing. Our society is too litigious these days anyways. I think if you can find out who the owners are, it wouldn't be out of bounds to ask if they are willing to replace your birds that were lost. Decent people will usually make a gesture to set things right. Hope the last one makes it.

It turned out that I know the AC guy, so I might ask them to repay the vet bills (unofficially). One of the missing girls showed up just missing her tail, so I'm holding out hope that the other two are just hiding, and the one in the pic is the worst I'm facing.

Yeah for Big Mama she probably went hiding under the bushes next door where she used to lay her eggs, may the other one followed her.
Could be under your shed too.

You can call the vet on the rabies license and they can contact the owners that way, or animal control can, or the cops can.
The owners are legally liable for all damages done by thier free roaming dogs. Make them pay for the chickens so they at least understand they ARE responsible for their dogs even when they're roaming around out of sight.
If they ran in front of a car and made them wreck, they could even be held liable in that type of damage.
Maybe there's a chance they'll keep them up then.
Really sorry you lost the chickens.

Fantastic news, they're back!!! Looks like Dot took one for the team while the others literally flew the coop to safety. Now fingers crossed that she heals up without complications.

I'm so happy for you Anna. That's just love, taking one for the team. I've done that before. I'd seriously pursue them to take care of any vet bills and hopefully she recovers if not then I'd make them replace anything you lost. You're extremely nice to not take actions that I would of, because in my eyes accident or not it still happened and it's still an animal you care about.

Is the tag number and hospital name legible on the rabies tag? Vet Hospitals keep records on hand of the rabies certificate issued with the tag, they could find the owner using that tag number. If they're open on Saturday night.
Edit: Ahh! Thought I had read everything when I replied! At least having a sitter implies that they aren't just random jerks who let their dogs roam as they please.
