Sure they are all locked away safe Karminski. We've had one trying to get into the big coop through the vent I think. The heavy duty reinforced plastic sheet over the run has been stretched a bit, which takes some doing. No damage to the coop as I guess the fox didn't like the sheeting moving about under its feet -exactly as the people who suggested using it said. It's scaffolding cladding sheet, designed to stop stuff falling onto pedestrians. Comes in 50m x 3m rolls. We now use it for every covering.

:lol: :lol: even the two together would not be classed as a snack they are so small at the mo :lol: i so wish though that i knew what was going though thier minds 05 the closest one has been to the run is about 5 inches when he left me a package on one of the cement blocks that holds the wire in place around the edge ,they are well secured chris i would pay a fox to break into my run its thats secure well it has been for over 3 yrs the wire at the top would soon stop them it would cut thier feet to shreads .sometimes i feel like i should go out there but luckily enough it can be quiet enough around here to be able to hear any thing crashing etc so i can be out there pretty quick .

I have to say having seen your set-up, I would very much doubt a fox getting through, it is like Fort Knox, a fantastic set-up! 08

it does worry me but not as much as it does if the thieves were out and about out there , i need to sort out the extension area like the rest of the main run roof but i cant the metal angle bars made any more .
