Well, maybe next year.

The problem right now is keeping the 8 dogs inside their fenced area
(the size of a normal home lot). They are escape artists and the four
smallest ones all seem to find ways out almost daily. Four smallest
defined as two in the 15-20 lb range and two weighing in at 30 pounds
each.

Once I get that take care of, I still have to deal with the neighbor
dogs. We have a leash law, it's just not enforced. Heck, even seeing
a collar on a dog is about a 50-50 shot.

Then there are the cats. What chance do the chickens have?
