I don't have much advice, SouthernbyChoice is the LGD expert But I do know that she has mentioned that you should never play with the dog in the field. Are you taking her out when you play?
Not sure about the wrist...that is a little unnerving.
About the chickens...I lost one yesterday and my dogs are 18 months and 4 years. I am pretty sure it was my 18 month old, but still...he is old enough to know better. At this point I can only correct him when I catch him. Fortunately he does drop them when I yell at him. He really does know better, it is just too much fun; they run and squawk.
I know that is not advice. Just some sympathy.
