Chicken keeps attacking my dog

[MorganAH]

That's right... not the other way around. I have a Plymouth Rock that keeps trying to show my chihuahua that she's the head of the flock by pecking at her, chasing her, etc. My dog will "take it" most of the time, but she has fought back twice now. I'm afraid my dog will have enough before long and really go after her... any way to make this stop other than just separating them all the time? Thanks in advance!

Nope. Its either keep them separate or let them work it out with the good chance one of them comes to grief. You could, if you can always be there, intervene. But the chicken will never learn that she shouldn't lord it over the dog.
