Please DO something about your dog. In many areas folks are allowed to shoot/kill any dog attacking their livestock, chickens etc. Maybe you will need to get a shock collar and work with her, or keep her confined behind an electrified fence/pen. Or give her up.
Hi, I won't be giving her up. I live in a suburban area/neighborhood, with a fenced yard. The new chickens will be basically urban birds. Dog doesn't roam free at all. The chicken in question unfortunately wandered into OUR yard. I'm very aware of my dog's predatory instincts and will be careful about the addition to our non human family. If it becomes a problem, my neighbor will be happy to take over my chickens, I'm sure - the dog will stay. Worth trying though - a little love and consistent training go a long way!
