Talk of shooting a dog to solve a problem is just plain stupid. I commend you for being polite, KathyH, but I'm just going to call it. It's definitely not acceptable that dogs go and kill chickens repeatedly, and I would take action for sure, but if people start shooting dogs because of any reason other than imminent death, there's going to be a hell of a lot more than just chickens shedding blood. Most dogs are beloved family members. If anyone had ever shot my dog, I don't even like to think of the hell they'd have had coming their way.
Build a fence, a good fence. Use pepper spray or loud noises to train dogs to stay away or get hurt. Classical conditioning works wonders.
