Thanks everyone for the information.

Sumatras
American Games
Cubalayas
Icelandics
Hemadoras
Egyptian Fouyami
Red Jungle fowl

Lots of others, I'm sure. Stay away from the breeds that are known to be docile and friendly - that's making it easy for the predators. Non-solid colors and barring works for camaflage, but an alert rooster and hens prone to fly up to the trees will go far.
