hello; Many years ago my first wife's brother got a husky pup and he had no place to keep it. My wife and I lived sorta far out and he left it with us for a short while. That turned into months then years. When the husky was almost a year old we moved into a more populated neighborhood to a house with a fenced in back yard. Great for the dog as he had a good sized lot.
One of the neighbors at the new place raised chickens and let them run free. Right away they started wandering into the yard inside the fence. The husky was one of the quickest dogs I have been around. He caught and killed them. I tried to break him by soaking one of the dead chickens in hot sauce and tying it around the dogs neck. Did not work. At first he did not like the sauce at all. After a while he would lick a bit off, make a dog face for a bit, then lick again until enough was gone. He then would eat the chicken.
The neighbor eventually quit keeping chickens. Not sure if he ran out of them and gave up or what. As my dog (the dog became mine or maybe he picked me, not sure) never was out of the lot the neighbor had no complaint. Not sure the neighbor liked the way things went. I didn't like that the dog was a chicken killer, but was able to keep him from running lose. That dog was death on most any animal that got into the yard. Never bit a person though.
