Ever heard of the term "LGD" ?
Livestock Guardian Dogs are a group of breeds bred specifically for that. . . . They spend all day outside, lay around most of the time, and watch over the flock. Whether it be geese, chickens, ducks, goats, sheep, cattle - You name it. They will take in...

If I had a photo of them truly scattered (which I do) you could hardly see them, they're so far spread around and blend in quite well (which is good, keeps the hawks away)
About 100 birds on 3 acres of pasture. It is fenced, though, but filled with trees, shrubs, and various other greenery. Never lost a bird, except one hen who was brooding in the very back of the pasture without my knowledge. She got taken the very night before I found her nest.
