If you really want to make it work, there are a couple of sites that you can refer to in training her. Homesteadingtoday.com has a board specifically for LGDs. The people there are very helpful if you really want help.
I personally do not think you are patient enough to work with this pup. You came here to complain after only a week that instead of guarding your chickens, she was eating them. You also referred to her as a thing, it, him and her. Who does that to an animal unless they don't like it? If you don't like her, how much effort are you really willing to put into working with her every-single-day?
I KNOW your frustration. I'm living it with a 4 month old GP mix. I read everything I could about these dogs for a YEAR before getting my pup so I would know what I was in for. It is not something to take on lightly and is not for everyone.
