Besides the obvious here... which have been eloquently and pointedly addressed in response... I have to ask why you keep chickens if you are unwilling to protect them. If you believe it's natural for your dog to do this, and admit fault that's fine - but what about your hens? You have them, it's your responsibility to protect them ...
from Predators.
btw. here is the definition of Predator from my dictionary: An organism which takes other live organisms as its food and thereby removes the prey individuals from a population.
I'd think twice before you get more so they don't suffer the same fate by your dog (a predator) who only comes what's natural... again.
Maybe goats should be your new bag.
(also: Free-range chickens aren't free-range predators ... their threat is limited to bugs worms and the occasional ego of a tabby cat.)
