I guess I shouldn't have posted to this thread, since I am not using my PET dog to GUARD a huge amount of chickens from which I make a living. I was only saying that my pet dog gets along fine with my chickens, as we trained him. He is never hungry, even when the chickens eat his food, as we leave a full bowl of food for him at all times. All of our animals are pets. I am coming at this from an entirely different perspective. I suppose he could possibly eat a chicken if we left him hungry for a number of days, but that is unlikely to happen. We also have children, and trained our dog to eat his food while we stuck our hands in it in order to get him used to kids getting in his way. Maybe that is why the chickens don't bother him. All this to say, training is of utmost importance.
