I live in a city near Portland, Oregon and they do allow chickens. I also have 2 dogs of which one (my lab) loves to chase and try to eat animals. I am looking for a way to integrate my bunnies, dogs and get chickens too. Any suggestions on integrating animals?
 
If your lab has a history of eating small animals, I wouldn't recommend you trying to integrate bunnies or chickens without professional guidance. Look for a reputable trainer in your area.
If there isn't a history of killing, you'll have to test your dog's prey drive and train it out of him/her/them. For methods of how to do this, PM me and I'll copy/paste the training methods I have used/learned with my dogs. It's too much info to do here.

It is very possible. I had a malamute who killed all sorts of small animals that entered the property, but he learned, with lots of time and patience, that my chickens and ducks were off limits. Instead, he turned to the possoms and raccoons that came to pester us at night. He turned into a GREAT farm dog!
