Some dogs make a hobby out of killing chickens.... Greyhound, Weimaraner, Jack Russell Terrier, Siberian Husky. His anecdote is "My personal favorite chicken killer is the Siberian Husky, but my Pit Bull hangs and guards my small livestock."
“1. Choose a breed that is known for doing the job you want done. If you want a herding dog, buy a herding breed, such as a Border Collie or English Shepherd. If you want a livestock guardian, buy one of the LGD breeds, such as Great Pyrenees or Anatolian Shepherd.”

Farmers that keep chicken-killing dogs eventually have no more chickens. Allowing a dog to have a “hobby” of killing one’s livelihood or food is sheer folly.
Greyhounds and Weimaraners are hunting dogs, the Jack Russell is a terrier, bred to kill vermin, and the Husky is well-known for its propensities for killing and eating anything.
A pit bull “livestock-guarding” dog is a contradiction in terms.
