Hi All, I am writing the chapter on predators for my book--would like to include a sidebar on using guardian dogs to protect poultry. I have notes from a number of correspondents on the subject--however, have no experience myself. I'm looking for someone (1) who has considerable personal experience with GD's (2) for use protecting *poultry*. Just a few paragraphs on the essentials: breed and individual choice, training, management strategies, effectiveness. If you don't trust your writing skills don't worry about it--I can do a final edit to get it ready.

I cannot offer any compensation for such a contribution, but will credit in any way you like, including url reference if applicable.

I doubt it will be part of such a sidebar, but if any of you have personal experience using donkeys or llamas--or another unusual species--to guard poultry, I'd love to hear from you and might be able to work in your observations.

Many thanks if you can help out.

~Harvey
