Corgis are herding dogs, therefore if they're well-bred they have a very strong herding drive! Corgis are also cattle dogs, so they tend to be hard-mouthed ~ which might not mix well with cats and chickens running around. Any healthy Corgi WILL chase a chicken unless they're restrained, or you have done a heck of a lot of advanced off-leash Obedience with them.

Maybe consider a non-herding dog, if you don't want the herding instinct? My herding pup obsesses over our cat (not to mention anything else that is moving), and I will never be able to trust them alone together ... Corgi's are also KNOWN for their readiness to bark at anything and everything ~ and since you're already having problems with one dog barking, I dunno. Corgi's are small, but they demand tons of exercise, training, and attention to be happy... just like any herding breed. Please do lots of research at akc.org and the breed clubs/websites of whichever breeds you are interested in.
