Help! My dog killed my chicken!

[pacelli27]

First time chicken owner & I have only had my chickens 2 days! Some how my dog got in the coop and killed a chicken. I am so upset. These are rescue battery chickens, I feel terrible. What can I do about my dog? How can I train her to leave the chickens alone? I want them to free range in a few weeks. My dog always leaves the regular birds alone when they are in the backyard so I thought she would be fine.

Sorry for your loss. Glad your dog only got the one. With dogs it's usually much worse. Here's a link that might help you out: https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/dealing-with-dogs-who-kill-chickens

Shock collar. Seriously. Have an 8 year old lab mix and it's the only thing that works.
