It takes about 2 years to teach an LGD not to kill poultry, and you will lose tons in the process and without any larger livestock to actually socialize with and bond to, you're basically going to have a bored, chicken killing puppy that resource guards random poo poo for a few years while you ruin his life every time he kills a chicken. Then you'll have a bored, neurotic adult dog that will guard territory, but not the chickens themselves (unless it views them as a resource, in which case it will resource guard them) and it may, or may not still kill chickens depending on how much it cared when it got in trouble for killing chickens. It will spend its life barking at nothing, digging out, and devising ways to get to chickens because it will be bored as poo poo. LGDs that typically "guard" poultry are, 99.999999999999% of the time actually guarding whatever larger livestock it is bonded to, and the chickens just happen to also be protected because they occupy the same space. Unless, again, that dog happens to not grow out of playing with chickens to death, in which case you p much just wasted a poo poo ton of time and chickens.

my pyr is 10 months old now and while he is bonded to goats and pigs, currently his favorite thing to guard are the random eggs I sometimes toss him when I gather eggs. He protects the eggs from the goats. In case a goat might steal one. They're basically stupid as poo poo until they're like 2+ and then they get their poo poo togther

Spermy Smurf posted:Is this for real? Holy poo poo I remember that thread, what a funny thread. She never posted again after posting twice about her autistic son, tiny apartment, no yard, and giant guard dog plan right? How did you find this out? It wasn't me, I think some goon tracked her down somehow and posted it v  v
