A lot depends on the dogs personality, mine want to play with the chickens. They are much better now but my first bunch I lost 2 birds they didn't realize they played to rough. I can have chickens and dogs out together as long as I am there, but you can see the dogs are just itching to play.
There is some excellent advise above use your best judgement dogs are smart but they have hard wired instructs that are hard to over come.
