I love keeping chickens and have always had them freeranging across the field, it was great for a few years but the last couple of years I feel I am just providing pick and mix for foxes. I currently have the remaining 6 with double height sheep netting, but it's only a matter of time until he gets them. I don't really like keeping them cooped up, and now I'm considering Alpaca, if they were to share a field with the chickens will they really keep them safe? It would also be for lambing time, only a small flock of 10 sheep.
Just interested to know how good their guarding really is? Any advice much appreciated.
