dog and chickens topic

[busdriver9799]

We have chickens in our backyard, they have a coop and a fenced in area to forage in. My daughter has a dog. She doesn't eat the chickens but like to go in their forage area and eat their poop and food. Of course she knocks down the fence to get to them. Any ideas how to break this behaviour?

Reenforce the fence you could get some pallets usally free and put them around the coop.

Give the chickens pineapple it will make there poo bitter and she wont eat it no more or get some apple bitter.

It is going to take training. I would try an air horn, or a can with pennies in it, I've used a coffee can. When the dog goes to the fence use the horn/rattle the can. When the dog turns away from the fence, give a reward/praise. You can PM me if you need more help or better explanation.
