Rooster found dead

[Loverexnchicks]

I just came back from work and found my rooster dead. All of my hens are fine as well as my other rooster. When I checked the body he had teeth marks so it was most likely my dog that killed him. My dog hasn’t done anything to the hens before but I’m guessing that the rooster tried to mount one of the hens which my dog might’ve seen as an attack and “defended” the hens. It has happened before but we corrected it at the time. I already separated the chickens from my dog, but I don’t know if I should still trust him around them. My dog knows that he did wrong by killing the rooster, but it was already too late to correct him. What do I do?

My dog knows that he did wrong by killing the rooster,

Maybe not. He probably knows that you're mad at him, though. Not much you can do now, other than what you have done - keep him away from the chickens.

Just try your best to keep them completely separated when your not there to keep an eye out
