X2! Besides that, I'm just one of those zero tolerance people who just plans on keeping dogs and chickens separate at all times. And yes, I've had chicken trustworthy dogs in the past. But I can't be outside watching all the time and even a well trained dog can make a wrong decision when it's person isn't around. I just don't ever plan on being the one posting about a dog who never looked twice at the chickens but who suddenly slaughtered a good flock of layers.
One other thing I would have to say about Huskey's, I never felt like the ones I had were really "trained" despite my efforts, just managed! They aren't big people pleasers in my experience, and so even less likely to fall back on any training when faced with something as irresistable as a running, squawking chick or hen.
