my german shorthairs are fine with my free ranging chickens, ducks and turkeys.That said they are training hunting dogs, and they understand that chasing and killing birds in the yard is not hunting. They have a hugh prey drive (and take care of all predators that come on the property), but are also highley trainable.
I would stay away from the arctic breeds (huskies) very high prey drive with not an equal amout of trainabliltiy.
