My Pyr/anatolin cross has eaten 1 guinea and one chicken so far. She is not let around the birds normally. The Guinea she ate was the night the others were eaten. TOTALLY my fault. I swept the yard and missed one by my car and she chased it . She gave it up very easy and killed it quick at least.
The chicken.... someone decided it was a good idea to poen my gates and let my goats and their dog out while my birds were out. Gerrrrr
I guess I should count myself pretty lucky. She only ate one and left the rest of the flock alone. I'm not sure how to break her of it though. I read her the riot act over the guinea. When she finally dug the chicken out of the snow where she hid it I took it away from her and read her the riot act again. She HATES to be yelled at. She will lay down and roll over when she knows I am mad.
Other than that she is an awesome dog. At only a year old she lets the goat kids use her as a mountain and helps me herd them where I need them.
Since then the guineas decided the tree was not good for their survival and go up with the chickens on their own. I have been leaving the dog out and I think she is chasing off anything else that thought it might come for a snack. So far so good.
