Goats can be territorial, but I'm not aware of them having any particular inclination to guard chickens or livestock.

Livestock guard dogs work better, but then you're dealing with a large dog that isn't a pet and isn't socialized like a house dog.

Can't your livestock guard dog also be a pet that's socialized like a house dog? Are the two mutually exclusive?
