In my over 10 years of keeping chickens, I've only had two dogs kill (one chicken each). They weren't strays, and it was more so on me for them getting killed. Not keeping the chickens in the coop and leaving them in a fence, and not paying attention to them when they had flown out of the chain link fence...
Since I haven't had any other predators kill, I have had attempted hawk attacks. They've gotten close and I believe made wounds on two of my hens before. They have and will hang around. So they are the #1 predator I worry about.
