Best to avoid terriers like Jack Russells and similar as it is their nature to catch and kill. Most dogs can be trained not to touch chickens if they are brought up that way from the start. A couple of the best breeds to train as they are intelligent are Labrador Retreivers and Border Collies. They may even be taught how to 'herd' the chickens like sheepdogs herd sheep. It will be more difficult if you have an older dog who is introduced to chickens for the first time, you may need professional help.
Yes, a dog can be trained to not attack chickens. However, the level of difficulty and time required to do so may very depending on the dog (individual, age, breed, previous experiences with chicken etc) and its owner.
Possible solutions:
Introducing a rooster to the flock may deter a small dog or puppy from bothering the chickens.
Closely supervise a dog and the chicken(s) in your yard, using a hose or spray bottle to squirt the dog every time it gets too close and or bothers the chickens.
Consult an animal trainer.
We eat the cows and chickens. They are food. The same cannot be said of cats and dogs in most cultures. In most cultures we do not kill pets, not even when they are cows and chickens.
Cats, dogs, chickens
Generally, predators kill chickens. Not prey. :P Most medium sized carnivores will kill chickens. Dogs, foxes, coyotes, weasels, etc. Not sure about cats, but they could probably kill bantams with no trouble.
People. People selected the dogs to breed and keep and which ones to kill.
i would think so
Most dogs will kill chickens if they are not trained not to chase and kill things.
Yes, a pitbull can kill you. Also, other breeds of dogs can kill you. On the other hand, a pitbull attacks are rare. you got to understand that dogs follow their owners behavior.
Domestic dogs do kill things, but many don't because the "things" aren't around. Trust me, they will kill cats, other dogs, chickens, turkeys, ferrets, about anything that suits them to attack.
There isn't an animal that kills chickens specifically to drink their blood. If a chicken is killed, it is likely by a wolf, raccoon, or fox. If they did not eat the chickens, it is likely that they were disturbed during the kill and had all intentions on coming back to claim their kill.
chickens are usually friendly, but get nervous to new people. they mainly are very good and gentle to the people who feed and take care of them the most. some breeds of chickens tend to attack dogs and small foxes when they intrude their space.
Yes, there's lots of different breeds.
Yes dogs have pups and chickens have chicks
