Get another Cane Corso and train it to guard the chickens.
Yeah waiting till he was almost 3 to get birds turned out to be a bad move. We have plenty of other cats/goat/animals that he won’t even look up from his nap at. But he’s been kill murder kill ever since we brought bittys home. Was just a matter of time till someone accidentally left the coop open

However, they loved to eat eggs, and I discovered it was cheaper to let the coons get a few chickens occasionally than it was to have the labs eating a dozen or two eggs every day.
That’s funny as shite lol I never even considered dogs going to town on the fresh eggs

Exactly. Labs quickly understand, and aim to please.
With a cane Corso I believe I would go with the shock collar and an emphatic NO.

Yeah, I had one that would check every nesting box when she went in there with me, eventually selecting an egg. She would then come find me and I could tell she had one in her mouth. I would ask her what she had in her mouth and she would put it down with no damage to the egg. She wouldn’t eat it unless I told her it was ok.
Once, we had a bunch of baby chicks out right next to the woods behind the house. One was missing, and she went in the woods (maybe 50-60 feet, and came back with it and put it down by my feet. Unscathed.

Electric shock therapy will do wonders. Get a shocking collar.

Bwaaaaaa this!!

Shock collars are 50/50, I think the smarter the dog is the better they work. I have a schnauzer, that is marginally retarded, shock collar doesn't work at all.

My GSP did this with the ducks in the pond. He would literally chase them all day until they got too tired and couldn't get away.
We got the Halo gps collar, you can draw boundaries on a map and it will shock him if he gets near the boundary. Works just like an invisible fence but no need for the wire.

Shock collar. Shock the shyt out of the dog every time he goes near the chickens

Next one he kills, tie it around his neck till it falls off.

when I was younger we had a German Shepherd who ripped through 2x4 welded wire to get to the chickens. He shredded his face and body, but he didn’t care, he wanted to kill those chickens THAT bad. After my dad got the dog patched up he gave the him away. I think it scared him that his dog could be that aggressive.

The Golden would let them hang over over him
We have 4 Goldens and 6 chickens free ranging in the back yard.
The last few chicks we bought, I have a cage in the house for the heat lamp and to mature until ready for the outside.
The dogs get used to them and other than a puppy that playfully chases them, no problems.
The mom Golden takes a maternal instinct to them and will growl when the others get close at first.
It's pretty amazing to watch. LOL
Good Luck, maybe having the chicks in a cage around the dog for a few weeks?

As a kid, I saw many dogs shot for killing chickens. Matter of fact the only dog I ever shot was a neighbors dog that got into our chicken yard. Anyway, if it was me, I would bring chickens around the dog and if he gets aggressive, beat the ever living crap out of him. Continue to do this until he learns that if he goes after a chicken he knows he’ll get hurt. I’ve seen this work once.
OP, I recommend something significantly less redneck and also more effective and humane than this. Wtf.

So a person makes the idiotic decision to have a nonLGD around chickens. Then the inevitable happens, and the solution is to best and kill the dog who does what’s in his nature?
You people are insane.

Saw once where a guy took the killed chicken and tied it around the dog's neck and left it. I dont know how long. He said it worked and his dog did not go back after chickens.

Going on 10 years now with chickens and rabbits. We've had terriers and pit mixes and now BMC and another pit mix. Other than chasing a few chickens every now and then, none have been killed by the our dogs. Only thing I can think of is that we exposed the dogs to our chickens when they were puppies and corrected the pups accordingly. Sometimes they just can't help it when a chicken struts by and gets startled, then the chase is on. Unfortunately, a remedial beating is required from time to time to remind the dogs. Now if you can tell me a way to keep the dogs from eating chicken shite... nothing like coming home to get licked on by my pup and just smell the chicken shite he's been licking up all day. Guess I'll just keep building up that immune system superiority.
