No, but I read an article on it a while ago (I should have that as my sig).
I think it was in CS. If you harp on at me for a while I'll try and find it because it mentioned a person who was keeping them like that, and all about stocking densities and expected ROI and whatnot.
Actually maybe it was in something else...couldn't have been Organic Way or Permaculture though or you'd have seen it.
Aren't wild boar considered fair game by some islamic groups?
Not as far as I know (could be wrong though)

The people on the kibbutz I worked on used to hunt wild boar to cook at religious festivals. However, they were very very irreligious.
And I think kosher and halal are slightly different lists aren't they?
You'd need mighty good fencing for either pigs or chooks - and the local foxes would have a field day with a wood full of chooks, I'd suspect. Pigs would make a lot of sense, though - they love rooting, burrowing and rubbing themselves against things, and a few stumps and logs would be ideal for them. Rounding them up may prove interesting, however!
when we were on skye we applied for a job as a sort of live in permacultural couple to work on an organic steading there (basically some rich retired farmer from down south) the house and land were set in heavy woods with only a large open clearing for the house and huge walled gardens.
his chickens roamed freely and when we asked about foxes he said he only had problems if he didn't lock them up at night. he did mention however that having a few dogs about the place helped too
Tahir, didn't you yourself provide an article on this a few months back?
By the way, round 'ere foxes take chooks all through the day as well as at night

Which kibbutz? Probably the north where there is plenty of woodland. I spent a few months on Kibbutz Urim in the Negev, way back in '78, the volunteer hayday, I think.

Lehavot Habashan, near Kiriat Shemona in the Upper Galilee. I went for about six months in 1981, then went back in 82 for the university summer holidays.
I got to be lifeguard for the swimming pool.
