I'm so sorry about your loss. When I was a kid, our doberman knocked over the hamster cage trying to get at it and that was enough to end things.
My dogs will never be chick or chicken safe without a good fence and supervision, which is why my chicks will be on the side yard and my dogs are inside with a dog door to the outside backyard that is enclosed by block wall.
