stubby 175 Posted April 2, 2010 Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 we have chickens at the bottom of the garden, and I have a permentaly fox trap set up in the run, as we have large numbers of urban foxes, anyhow today my missus let the chickens have the run of the bottom section of garden, by leaving the gate open (on purpose) she popped down and checked them around 4pm and all was ok, I then went down around 6.30pm to clean the ferts, and thought that a chicken had got itself trapped in the trap, walking closer, realised it was a fox, so a fox has entered the garden, then into the coop, totally ignored the chickens, yet gone for the bit of rabbit, that must be a couple of months old by now, and bought and end to his existence the 410 hushpower is a great fox dispatch tool, hardly a sound, and very quick Quote Link to post
