RE: ANOTHER Fox Attack

in #homesteading7 years ago

Oh how terrible, I am so sorry. Foxes are one of my favourite animals but it devastates me that even to this day there is still a fox/human conflict going on. Have you thought about perhaps putting your coop within an aviary of galvanised mesh during the night? Sadly, now he knows where he can get a meal he will definitely be back. I really hope you can keep your other chucks safe. We have foxes in our garden with the Rabbits but they are not out over night yet and that will really worry me when they are. Specially the effort your visitor put in to get to the animals. I am so sorry.

Thanks so much!

My two sheds of hens are okay because the sheds are properly shut up at night. With this coop, I've been hammering metal bars into the ground to stop him digging in and he came in the top instead! What a brute.

Problem is...he's also totally beautiful. A great specimen of a fox. Suppose it's all that chicken! I'm hoping this new roof will deter problems in the day time but, until I'm less paranoid, the three girls and rooster from this coop are coming into a poultry crate in my conservatory at night.
