Before bringing a new puppy into a home that already has a resident dog, be sure that the adult dog is not territorial or in any way inclined to bite. Luckily, the majority of Staffies are amazing mothers and fathers to their puppies and hopefully your adult Staffy will pick up on this maternal behaviour (even if they are not the parent). Generally, the younger the puppy is the less likely it is that there will be as problem. To be precautious, introduce the two dogs in a neutral place, such as a park or field where they are not on each others territory. If everything goes well and they get to know each other, take them home and watch them carefully for any signs of trouble. Try not to let the puppy annoy the adult dog by jumping all over them, give the adult some space and everything should be fine. Good luck!

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.
