Here are some steps you can take to protect your flock:
- Electric fencing- let me tell you I had this for 3 years and did not loose a chicken until a tree branch fell and smashed it
- Guardian animals- my dogs don’t care for the taste of chickens but they do like to chase off the foxes
- Keep them in a safe run-this will include double wire your chickens coop I had a fox chew through my wire and kill three hens
- A over 6 foot fence, foxes can just scramble over a 6 foot fence, this is useful if you want to keep your chickens free range.
