Has anyone had success in rearing chickens while owning dogs.

I have 3 dogs, one of which is a husky, and would like to raise hens for eggs. Has anyone succeeded in training their dogs to not eat their birbs?

Yes.
>keep the chickens in an enclosure.
Because not only can you no longer traing your grown dogs to avoid their instincts, you also protect your chickens from foxes and other predators that lurk when your dogs are sleeping.

Let me just elaborate before I forget about this thread completely;
Chickens aren’t that smart but they still have feelings. They can feel threathened if a huge predator-like animal is around them all of the time and more often than not they can stop laying eggs because of stress.

I dont think youll be able to keep an adult husky from chasing chickens. But Ive had more than one dog not care in the slightest about chickens.

Haven't done it myself, but I've seen lots of dogs trained to tolerate poultry. Usually this ends up with the chickens bullying the dog once they figure out that it won't attack them though, so some kind of enclosure would probably a good idea.

Chickens are faster and can fly. My dog Chase's them for fun and never catches one. But chickens can't see at night, so that's when you worry. Just lock them up at night to make sure.

Coyotes can certainly catch a chicken during the day so I don't see how a dog in good shape couldn't do it. I think Husky is not a good chicken breed, but it depends on each animal's character. A lot of people recommend live stock guardian breeds like Great Pyrenees.

My dog gets along pretty well with the chickens, but had a dog that would've killed them in a second if she got the chance, and we couldn't really train that out of her.

Birbs can defend themselves, so no worries really, Anon.
