Our Anatolian Shepherd is the only dog we have that has killed any of our birds and she only went after baby chicks that we let free range,she managed to get 2 before we could stop her from going after more.
We believe it is the sudden movements that attracts her attention.
The ducks and most of the larger chickens have been around her for 8+ months and the dog just ignores them when they free range.
We have a Catahoula that ignores the birds as well.
Occasionally we will keep the MIL's dogs..2 Mini Schnauzers and 1 Yorkie all of which stay away from our birds
It may have something to do with our ducks going after them the first time they were here.
