I used to keep chickens years ago Kara though just plain ones for meat birds. I did find that keeping a mated pair of standard big white farmyard geese with them really helped. Once the geese matured (and had been raised in with the chickens) nothing but nothing got near my birds or their coop without the geese raising hell. Oh and my dog loved the occasional lightly cooked goose egg for a treat. Geese make great alarm systems for chickens.
