ITV's This Morning will be visiting Copas Turkeys at the farm for a live broadcast with Alice Beer tomorrow morning Fri 22 November at around 10.30am.

The Copas alpacas that protect the turkeys have been quite the stars today with appearances in The Times newspaper, Express Online, Metro Online, The Argus and Evening Express.

According to the BBC, Tom Copas, the owner of the family business, came up with the idea of alpacas in 2015 after a series of fox attacks resulted in hundreds of birds being killed at the farm.
