Ravens are huge in Alaska.

I visited Alaska last year and was impressed by their size. Probably you will have to get a full grown rooster. Perhaps if you post an Ad in craigslist.

The problem is wintering thru a full size bird but it looks like I will have to as I usually have to start with chicks in the spring, unless I get lucky and can buy some from someone else who has wintered them thru. This raises another question - How would a adult rooster respond to 2-3 month old hens? It would probably work if he will accept them because he would be a vetern and be ready when raven attacks are at their worst and the hens would be at their most vonerable. That's why the breed of rooster is crutial, if it were a hen, I could look for "Broody" as a trait, what do I look for in a rooster for the same type of trait?
