We would be interested in a pregnant female. We have 2 males who are doing an excellent job of protecting our chickens, but we are about to increase the number of these yet again in order to keep up with the demand for our eggs and so we are concerned unless the 2 male alpacas we have are a sufficient deterrent.

we have two "feral" male llamas here at the moment. they were here when we moved in and they patrol the 400 acres fo the farm we rent currently. they do a good job of protecting the sheep and the turkeys but new legislation here in wales means i have to TB test them now. You lucky people in England dont yet! Problem i have is rounding them up to do the test when DEFRA call the vet to do it. They are usually up the very top of the mountain when i want them!
We are looking to go to a new property soon, so maybe we can get in some alpaca instead as they are better suited to the size land we aim to have.
Are yours bTB tested Burl?

Generally I would not recommend putting a female in with two boys as they would drive her nuts humping!!!!unless you are going to keep her seperate and then I would recommend two female for company.

No we are a TB free zone but many areas in England have TB problems in Camelids , testing is on a volutary basis at the moment . Anyone buying Alpacas should ensure they are purchasing them from a TB free zone if possible..or that the animals if from an infected zone have 3 clear tests..
Alpacas are friendlier and you get more back from them, keeping Llamas is a mystery to me.
Good Luck
