Dogs may eat chicken poop because they aren’t getting enough nutrients from their regular food. Try to balance their diet Invest time and effort to train the dog to be obedient. You can start training your dogs with basic commands like “drop it” or “leave it” that will help. That way, they’ll know to leave things alone if you say so. Confine Your Chickens: Make things simple by putting a barrier between where you keep the chickens and where the dogs can go and explore. Physically separating the two will ensure that the dogs don’t have any access to chicken poop and there is no risk of them feasting on those nasties. Consult Your Vet To Ensure Diet Is Not Lacking Ensure that your dog is getting enough of the nutrients they need, especially for growing and active dogs. Consult the vet if necessary. Clean Up Frequently It takes plenty of time and effort to pick up after the chickens, and it seems that they never take a break from pooping. However, cleaning up after them regularly and maintaining proper coop hygiene will minimize the poop supply so that there’s less chance for dogs to feast
