I have a few border collies and none of them have showed any interest in chasing or eating chickens. I thankfully don't have any kids but I would feel comfortable with mine being around them. However don't forget that border collies are herding dogs and most herding dogs have natural instinct, when they don't have a job such as herding sheep or cows they may start herding chicken or children.

Jamie,
Thanks for the info. I had heard they are super smart and needed to be kept busy, but wasn't sure if it was true.

| No problem, they are extremely smart and wouldn't be hard to train not to chase chickens but they would need some other way to release energy.
