TLDR: Does anybody have leads on chicken and waterfowl savvy livestock guardian dogs?

Unfortunately the yearly “tradition” of losing chickens to raccoons has started. Their new trick this year is busting into the coop at night instead of just picking them off during the day. We have lost 4 in two days and they were all favorites. Needless to say, we are devastated and trying to plan out new ways to keep the birds safe. So far the best long term solution seems to be investing in fencing around the birds’ yards/runs and a livestock dog. If anybody has any suggestions on breeds that are specifically good with poultry, or even availability of LGDs please let me know.

Today has been a rough one...we have 6 little orphan cremes we are hoping will make it through. We checked them all yesterday night and everyone seemed fine. This morning momma had passed 😔 we're not sure what happened but are leaning towards heart attack. These guys are just shy of 4 weeks so still pretty early to be away from mom. But we're gonna do our best for them 💖 I'm sorry little ones

Normally we would NEVER recommend giving rabbits this much sugar, however when you are trying to bandage up an angry momma Mulan...the grapes just saved our lives 👀
