Fox at my chickens


Recommended Posts

Well when we had the snow a week or so ago i saw some fox prints around my chicken pen, i then saw a fox in amongst my sheep last thursday, i have lost over 40 chickens in the last 2 years to fox but have since penned them in instead of letting them free range about my holding.

 

I have just built back up to around 20 hens and am not going to just feed foxes with them so i set a couple of wires around the pen (from trapworks) and got the bugger today, the funny thing was the chickens had got out because he had pulled at the mesh once caught and they were just sat all around him within 5-6 feet :icon_eek: i suppose they might have thought he was one of my terriers :laugh: .

 

This is the big dog fox just after i shot him.

The dogs new something was up and were going mad, so AFTER i shot it i let them rag it a bit just to get out their frustration.
