I agree with Rob, trap the dog with a HS trap but don’t bring the dog there, instead drop the dog off on the old government road. There are plenty of chickens to keep him busy there, trust me I know. In fact if the dog really likes to grind on chickens he may think he died and went to doggie heaven.
I ran a private duck club in northern Cal at one time and we had two collage trained resident duck dogs. One of the things that I had to do was exercise the dogs daily, [run them on the levies] where they would see a rabbit. This drove the dogs nuts because they wanted to catch it but new that is was prohibited. Sometimes they just got overwhelmed and couldn’t stand it and went after the rabbit and chased it down and would bring it back to me. I was instructed to slam the crap out of the two dogs with the dead rabbit and send them back to the kennel. This would work for a few months but the cure was not permanent the next time they saw a rabbit they would just look at me and shake because they wanted the chase. Eventually they would break down and go for it knowing what was in store for them when it was over, just the nature of the beast.
