The Coop with Meyer Hatchery

The Best of Guards


Listen Later

Today we’re talking about guards, as part of our Best Of Series. We dedicate one episode per month to this series, covering the very best of each month's topic. For the month of October, we’re going to dive into the best breeds for guarding. As the spooky season approaches, we thought it would be fun to cover some of the best breeds to help protect your farms and homesteads. 

While maybe not from ghosts or zombies, good poultry guards sound the alarms for aerial predators and will be the first to defend your flock from raccoons, opossums, and even the neighborhood dog. In fact, it’s often an overlooked perk to keeping poultry! 

In this episode you'll: 

  • Discover The Best Breeds For Guarding Your Homestead
  • Learn Other Ways To Guard Your Flock
  • Get Our Best Insight and Tips For Flock Guards
