That's quite a high probability. Just make sure that she doesn't get to be a chicken-hunter too. Our wolfdog (the first one, now we do not have any chickens) liked to kill and eat our chickens. Usually she picked one (the one than laid most eggs), but in the end she killed them all. And som just commited suicide by jumping over the fence right to her mouth. So tech her from the start that chickens are forbidden.
Re the digging for den - yes, our Frei also likes to prepare her bedding, especially when we camp out, she scratches the ground to get to the soil in the place where she wants to sleep. But of course at home she sleeps on the mattrass - or during a spring sunny day she switches between the shade and the sun in 15 minute or so intervals.
