That may be true, but unleashed dogs and loose chickens do not permit someone to trespass and threaten, especially when you are supervising children. (Implication being if you are the supervisor/parent, and harmed, the children are left vulnerable with the aggressor.)
Their yard wasn’t enclosed, so our dog got into his yard to smell his chickens. We were told our dog needed to be leashed or in a fenced-in yard. Meanwhile, they apparently didn’t have to.
Sounds like his animals were staying on his property and yours were not. You were in the wrong. He overreacted but don’t let your pets wander on other people’s property.
Legally, he’s supposed to have his chickens fenced in. Just like we are supposed to have a fenced in yard, actually. So we’re both actually “wrong”. Barging into my property threatening to hurt me in front of my kids isn’t simply an “overreaction” either.
It did. But they said WE were in the wrong because our dogs were unleashed.
Gotcha.

You have to leash your dogs on your own property? I’ve never heard of such a thing.

It makes for the best neighbors.
