put them in a fence with a tarp over the top, put them in a chicken coop at night, keep them in something that is sheltered. if you have bantams, the smaller birds, keep an eye on them if you let them out, hawks and other birds will try to kill them. The larger breeds are a bit harder for anything to get, unless it's a ground animal. i have problems with skunks, possums, and racoons mostly.

∙ 12y agoDogs are pack animals and naturally will chase chickens. If you teach your dog that the chickens are part of "your" pack they will learn not to attack the birds.
Take your dog around the chickens on a short leash, sharp commands of NO! when the dog lunges at a bird with a quick tug on the leash will suffice. This may take a few days.

Is there anything a person can do to stop a dog that has wolf in him from killing chickens?
There are some things you can do to discourage them from killing the chickens but it will never be safe for them to be with chickens without supervision.If you teach the dog a good recall then you will be able to call the dog away anytime it attempts to chase and kill a chicken and you could reward calm behavior (such as lying down and ignoring the chickens).But depending on the dog's prey dive they may never be able to be around chickens safely so use your judgement and keep the chickens safety in mind when trying to train him to be around them.

How do you stop dogs from killing chickens?
Of course! However, it has to be done while the dog is still young. Once it gets the taste of blood hope is lost. The best way is to place the dog with the chickens when it is still a puppy. Let the roosters run it and peck at it (don't let them hurt him too bad) but if he learns the chickens are dominant over him he will be less likely to hurt them or even go near them when he is older.
Why is the Anatolian shepherd killing the chickens its supposed to protect?
Probably because you did not socialize the dog the the chickens when the dog was a pup so it would accept them as one of it's family / flock. You cannot take an older dog and put it with animals and expect it to just automatically protect them. The dog should be socialized to the animals when a pup, an older dog probably could be trained and monitored until it accepted the chickens as something it should protect, but easier to start with a pup.
