DO NOT get a Siberian Husky if it will have any access at all to whatever part of your yard the chickens are in. I raise Siberians. Some can be acclimated very well with cats or parrots if they are taught it is a member of their family but there are also those that live peacably with a cat or bird for years and then suddenly kill it. Parrots are also able to defend themselves better than a chicken. Your chickens would end up on the menu and it isn't the dogs fault. That is what they do. The breed is highly impulsive with a strong prey drive. Small animals that flap or flee are at risk.
I am currently taking tons of flack from breeder friends for trying to raise my own chickens with Siberians in my yard. I have two acres though and the ability to keep the dog enclosure far away from the chicken enclosure. I am smart enough to know that BOTH enclosures have to be Siberian proof. Raccoons and foxes are the least of my concern. Siberians have opposable thumbs and a genius mind for problem solving.
