Donkeys are good against all doglike predators, but not against cats such as bobcats and mountain lions. Alpacas are just as good as Donkeys for that and you can see how weary they are with 4 vs 1 tiny bobcat, which seems young and insecure.
Hadn't heard about alpacas, but llamas are known to chase away foxes in the Andes, kicking and spitting at them. Heard that in the US they replace sheepdogs, more practical as they don't need special feed
Family friends of ours had a rooster actually kill an attacking fox. So really good roosters can take their protection duties to the very highest levels! But not all roosters; others just hide from danger.
We have 2 Blue Heeler dogs, they keep the Bobcat, Fox, Coyote, and raccoon, my husband saw on his trail camera on our property, away from our chickens, turkeys, and Guinea Fowl. The dog pen is right next to our bird pens.
@@MyName-zd9pe When we add sheep and a goat to are hobbie farm. We are going to get a Donkey to guard the livestock. Theres videos of Donkeys killing foxes, coyotes and even hyenas. Donkeys are vicious creatures and are insanely strong.
These alpacas are magical creatures right? They’re so smooth and elegant in they’re movements. Course if the fence wasn’t there, they’d be half way to Timbuktu, and the chickens would be cooked. But whatever. They’d fit right into Avatar. 😁
@@rickallman1318 Because the alpacas were scared. They are herd animals and it is in their instinct the run synchronized away from predators, no matter the size of the predator.
In truth, most predators are somewhat afraid. If they get hurt attacking the wrong thing (or the wrong way) they can't hunt and starve to death! So seeing large (to the bobcat, alpacas are large) animals line up in a formation, the bobcat did a Nope!! Not today! Now if one of those chickens get careless, Lunch!!! But I Am NOT going anywhere near those big things.!
That crew should be able to run off lions. Would think bobcat would be gone as soon as dogs showed interest. That said, we had a bobcat come into our little suburban yard - my wife was home and tried to get my dogs to go out, but apparently it was nap time. Even in LGD breeds the instinct can skip a generation (my bigger lap dog is a Pyrenees) - maybe it’s a question of nurture as well as nature :)
Start by installing a more secure perimeter, that fence is too short! Then get something mean to protect the chickens... Those things you got are too cute to be mean 🤣
Lamas are usually pretty tough animals. They put three or four Lamas in with a group of sheep and they will fight like hell and keep the predators away like wolves, foxes, coyotes and they will even gather up together as a group and fight off even Grizzly bears from what I understand.
@@seaskimmer9071 Some people use Donkeys and Llamas (not Alpacas) to guard their sheep and cattle herds. Llamas are fucking mean bastards. They will kick and bite and spit all over your ass bigtime. You don't want to mess them. They will tear your ass up.
@@seaskimmer9071 - Just because species arose in one place, does not mean that people have not brought them elsewhere. Alpacas and Llamas may have originated in South America and still be most common there - but I’ve seen many in multiple states within the lower 48. Other posters here have mentioned their use as guardians in Europe. Would think their cold tolerance and mountain origins would make them ideal for use in mountainous northern regions - which is also where they’d be most likely to encounter grizzlies. So comment is not so laughable. Personally I like dogs because they bark. You want guardian animals to handle all the small stuff, and make bigger threats reconcpsider (look for easier meals. If big animal is really attacking, dogs may just slow it - but they’ll alert you and buy time for you to get out the big guns.
There a certain cartoon I would watch, I’m 66 that cartoon still cracks me up………… A certain dog and a male chicken are in the yard, this little thing with a big head comes into the yard and yells out loud, I’m a CHICKEN HAWK and I’m HUNGRY!! I WANT A CHICKEN To Eat! So he asks the dog does he know where a chicken is? The dog hates this one fat chicken so he sends the little fella to the chicken he is suppose to be watching! FUNNY as Hell😆 In the end he is so confused with their nonsense he grasps the both of them. Cause he’s a chicken hawk!
This is absolutely beautiful video and I thank you so much for sharing it !! I would be TORN in three different ways if this happened to me and mine!!! I can see that's no kitten!! And I love all wildlife & I know they've got to eat but damn!! I feel ya!!
Wow. That cat decided those big animals that he has probably never seen were just a bit much. 4 against 1 nope I think Niall from my chicken elsewhere thank you very much! Wow that was exciting.
The Alpacas should have been alarming like crazy!! Geez, if my Alpacas see ANYthing unusual there's a cacophony of alarms nonstop! ANYthing, meaning a suspicious animal, a sketchy looking tree or weed moving suspiciously, a loud train on the distant train tracks.. heh..
Alpaca are not stupid, let big cat fill up on chickens, then he will be to full to mess with Alps, just don't forget to replace chicken's for round two...because da cat will be back, yum yum !!
Thank goodness u had those chickens to protect ur alpacas.

If the Alpacas were hiding or running behind the Chickens, who was the real Chickens ? 😳 lol 😂
A very funny groaner. I enjoyed both laughing and groaning.
Those alpacas move as a group, almost in unison. Very interesting.
They're herd animals. That's their God-given instinct.
@@emilyelizabethbuchanan998 Still hardwired by nature to run away en masse from predators.
It's natural. If you look like one big animal it is harder to find one to attack.
Herd mentality is instinctive.
They are herd animals.
That one chicken was so scared it learned to fly
You need 2 donkeys ,they will stomp foxes ,coyotes ,bobcats
Yes, I was going to post that statement. You need two donkeys.
Amen! Donkeys are awesome protectors!
Donkeys are good against all doglike predators, but not against cats such as bobcats and mountain lions.
Alpacas are just as good as Donkeys for that and you can see how weary they are with 4 vs 1 tiny bobcat, which seems young and insecure.
My aunt always kept 2 or 3 donkeys on her farm. They are fearless.
Wolves too.
Hadn't heard about alpacas, but llamas are known to chase away foxes in the Andes, kicking and spitting at them. Heard that in the US they replace sheepdogs, more practical as they don't need special feed
I've heard llamas are aggressive to the point of carrying weapons and mugging senior citizens...
Looks like there were some pretty brave chickens.
I wish I was a chicken.
@@Rich-kp1eu It's a simple decision from what I hear.
@@garrykennedy5484 I would agree with you, but I am afraid to.

But not all roosters; others just hide from danger.
Alpaca to his bud: "I flew up from South America for this?"
😂😂😂😂😂
Those chickens were looking for a fight. Even the Rooster was like - "I'll let the ladies handle this one".
Time for a livestock guardian dog. Just the barking alone scares off most predators. Brave chickens, even the alpaca know to hide behind them. 😉
We have 2 Blue Heeler dogs, they keep the Bobcat, Fox, Coyote, and raccoon, my husband saw on his trail camera on our property, away from our chickens, turkeys, and Guinea Fowl. The dog pen is right next to our bird pens.
I don't even think a guardian dog can beat a bobcat
Get a donkey far more vicious and much more territorial. Donkeys will kill anything that enters there territory.

@@MuffHam Yes, donkeys are awesome yard protectors .We plan on getting some donkeys when we save up some money. 😉🙏✝️🇺🇸
Bobcat was thinking, them are some big freaking dogs!
my rooster will automatically fillet any living thing to death if it comes between him and his favorite hen. Like, seriously.
Damm that’s badass.
The alpacas knew what was up from the get go. Good show of unity by the alpaca "herd".
Bobcats are gnarly. I had a friend with a Rottweiler. They fought, both lived, but the Rott was pretty slashed up.
You had a friend?
Did the bobcat eat your friend?
These alpacas are magical creatures right? They’re so smooth and elegant in they’re movements. Course if the fence wasn’t there, they’d be half way to Timbuktu, and the chickens would be cooked. But whatever. They’d fit right into Avatar. 😁
The chickens subscribe to the theory of keeping your friends close and your enemies closer.
Should have titled it “chickens protecting alpacas”
Alpacas just look like big plush toys, lol. So adorable it hurts!
I guess that the bobcat wasn't ready for the Alpacalypse!
Now when someone’s being a chicken, they should be called alpacas instead!
Get a donkey! They'll protect all from everything!
Not from Chinese. The Chinese has now decided that something underneath donkey skins make their penises bigger. So donkeys are getting scare.
@@rameychisum2891 But why were the Alpacas hiding behind the chickens?
@@rickallman1318 Because the alpacas were scared. They are herd animals and it is in their instinct the run synchronized away from predators, no matter the size of the predator.
Come on, the bobcat needs to eat too. He said, "I think I'm in the mood for some KFC tonight." LOL
Kentucky Fried Dinosaurs
OMG, those alpacas are just DARLING 💖😍💖😍💖 I hope they’re not in any danger 😥
Go guard them
Uselesss
Not to worry, the chickens will protect them.
The alpacas were like....well just wait over here away from things.
Hubby came out with the shotgun and ended bobcats chicken hunting career
Alpacas are more chicken than the chickens themselves😆
So cute alpacas running around together.
Is it me or the alpacas are so curious to witness the thrill Haha also the synchronized movement is funny
It's funny alpacas are supposed to be guards against smaller predators such as foxes and such
The bobcat was afraid of the alpaca's thankfully!
In truth, most predators are somewhat afraid. If they get hurt attacking the wrong thing (or the wrong way) they can't hunt and starve to death!

@@maggiethedruid9010 If it was alone, yes! But I'm not too sure if a bobcat could do it if the Alpacas are together and help defend one another....
@@maggiethedruid9010 I've seen Goats (plural) go after a Coyote that was in their yard!
Should be titled "Chickens protect Alpaca".
Although far larger the alpacas instinctively fear the predator despite not naturally co-existing with bobcats, I believe.
Correct
Lol, the way they move together. They’d sweep the Olympics in synchronized competitions.
😂👌
I've got to watch it again now!
Comment of the day!!! ha ha ha ha ha
flocking?
This is why you get a donkey.
To quote the great Foghorn Leghorn, "DOO-dah, DOO-dah, I say!!"
Great video 👍🏻 👏 👍🏻 👏
Great channel 👍🏻 👍🏻 👍🏻
Yup a bobcat got our rooster before we or dogs could do anything,he was a good rooster and did his job,all hens were safe
That one chicken was like:
Bring it ON lmao
I wonder what the Bob cats thinks of those alpaca. "What the h*** are those fluffy looking small white moose doing here?"
They are funny looking horses.
I also notice that the rooster was hanging back. There's just some fights that are best left to the girls but when mama came out unarmed.....!
When danger nears, most roosters try to blend in with the hens.
Alpacas are so intriguing.
Nice sized cat! Lady walks out with no weapon other than clapping hands. Wow! Cat runs... Alpacas were no help.
At my place it would have been a bobcat vs the chickens vs the 2 bullmastiffs the Shepard and the chiweenie
Bet the Chiweenie is the toughest one of all. Our little Chihuahua mix is fierce!

Them horses with the long necks didn't help! Good thing the lady came outside and Karen clapped the Bobcat away.
I bet the chick fil-a cows hired that bobcat .

Sounds like a Democrat!!!!
Rooster "Ok Girls I am right behind you for support!"🤨
If somebody clapped hands at me I'd still be running.
Behind dogs these are the coolest animals on earth.
Quickly alpacas! Spit on him! Spit on him like the wind!!!
You need a guardian donkey or a Great Pyrenees for protection.

If you had a donkey or a horse in there, that bobcat would have been toast
Those alpacas, such pansies. I bet they wouldn't even dare to bust a grape
those alpacas are a funny bunch.
New title should be: Chickens defend alpacas from bobcat
I was brushing my horse at our hitching post and a bobcat walked right by us! I only had time to cover my horses right eye so she wouldn't freak out
You just need one Little Jerry.

Didn't know Alpacas were so territorial, LOL as good as a goat .
Nice Alpacas!!!
let me just get my .22 with a 30 round clip real quick...
This is why you need a donkey. A donkey would have chased that bobcat away instantly without hesitation.
Alpacas aren't putting up with Bobcat nonsense 👍
Hello am your 100 subscriber from kenya.bob cats are dangerous for chicken. Funny video the four goats r afraid
Obviously the Alpacas had saved the chicken, the bobcat reluctant to attack because the presence of the big size alpacas.
Goodness that was totally unexpected. Hehe haha.
people talking sht but the alpacas did keep the bobcat from going further.
The alpacas scared him off......
Need a Jack donkey...nothing wants to get bit or kicked by them.
If there was a goat amongst them, he would have chased the bobcat.
They need live stock guardian dogs..
Get two Great Pyrenees, So they can work as a team to keep predators away..
Bobcat? Why didn't you say so..? Alpaca lunch...
That's why I don't free range my chickens cuz of predators like this.
safety in numbers
Looks like it got in UNDER the fence.
Why not have an LGD guarding them?
