Foxes are certainly a worry to poultry keepers. We have often left Radio 4 on to deter the fox when we have been out, but early on Sunday evening the fox came into our garden and took one of our hens whilst we were in the house. Another hen was left for dead and died shortly afterwards. Our daughter spotted the fox in the garden with the hen in its mouth and she ran outside shouting. The fox jumped over the five bar gate, partly fell into the cattle grid on the other side, but quickly recovered and made its escape! We are now considering an enclosure with electric fencing top and bottom.
