hmm, I saw someone asking about mini dachshunds, and if you find the right one that's relaxed and lacks the game dog instinct, they'll do alright. I have a mini doxie, since I breed them with my family, but she's not really good in the breeding department as she has only had 1 litter and her twin sister is now preparing to lay down her fourth litter. Anyways, my doxie, penny, is rather calm and relaxed, not very aggressive, and doesn't usually bark that much unless a cat gets too close to our glass door, but when she does, it's loud and sharp.
Penny, though calm and rather docile, can hold her own, as she's the largest dachshund we have, and when our other more aggressive doxies go at it, she usually breaks it up and rips each dog a new one, our Doberman doesn't even want to bother with her, lol!
So far, with the first batch of chicks, 19 broilers, she's been very friendly, loves to be around them, and I suspect she likes to think of them as her babies, since the first litter she had, she was a great mom, and the rest of our females allow only her near their pups and babysit them when they need to go potty, so I guess this'll be a good job for her for now, protectin' the chicks and chickens.
