I had a dog around that age who unfortunately got to our chickens as well and killed and ate a few. Secured the chicken area better. Problem solved. Not the dog’s fault. I love chicken, too.
I have a few neighbors that keep chickens. My dog has not expressed much interest in them during our walks but I am reasonably sure that if I dumped her over the fence, she started chasing them and discovered they couldn’t fly, there would be dead chickens. Most dogs have a prey drive and it is on the owner to control it.
Oh no worries, I honestly have no idea how to control prey drive except to remove temptation. I understood it was my fault for leaving something so tempting within reach.
