Hi We have a Great Dane. All I can say is socialize them. We bring the Dane in into the coup to check for eggs. At first the chickens didn't like it and we were very cautious but now no-one seems to care and even we they have flown the coup our dane doesn't seem to care. But it took us over a year of socializing them to eachother.

. I've got a funny lil story about socializing dogs w chickens. A good friend of mine told me that her neighbors ( she lives in the middle of nowhere) that have over 100 free ranging chickens used a dead chicken n beat the dog w it! It supposedly made the dog not want to get the dead smell on it so it left the chickens alone. Now, I think this is total hogwash cuz dogs don't care, they roll on dead stuff all the time. Lmao. I think it's an old wives tale n it would never work but it's so so absurd it's almost funny!
