(Cont'd) Because they are black & don't latch, just crawl & bite; are the tinier .5mm vs. the red mite is 1.5mm. I read its ok to use frontline for this? would i have to get dose for large dog? I got permethrin spray for hens. Haven't used yet on baby chicks. Also read Sevin dust works, DE does...

I just got infested with tiny black mites on me. I had my hen under my shirt as we carried her 9 chicks by box into the house. Next day I had about 50 bites on my neck & chest. I found 2 on my phone screen & started googling. Got the hen & chicks down to coop, got heat lamp & took hot shower...

yep. we saw fox leap up onto 6' fence & climb over quickly. Very agile creatures.

that's the secret! You have dogs. Many have asked me "why don't you have a dog because foxes hate dogs"? Training a dog takes alot of commitment&I don't feel I have enough knowledge to do it.:( I love retrievers and herding dogs so much!

I'm so very sorry. I would take them no probs. But I live in Wisconsin 20 miles from Milwaukee

Ya, we just kept them inside after this attack. they have a fortress that can't be gotten into by fox but our fault was letting them range during day. After neighbor killed 2 red fox, we let them out occasionally. No probs as of yet. But I agree, there will be another to move into this...

Wow

2 weeks after this incident, our neighbor shot 2 red fox mid-day on his property as they were trying to get at his chickens. YAY!

Saturday October 27, 2018. Red fox came to cause chaos and fear and he trotted amongst our 15 banties out in front of our barn. One bantie ran & hid in the shallows of our pond. One 4 month old flapped her wings so hard she ended up on top of our pole barn. Fox did get away earlier in the day...

nothing. they too smart to enter a trap. you gotta sit there with your 22&shoot it. Or put poison out in some chicken thighs

It's B.S. that foxes are nocturnal. This article is full of blue mud. Read these other testimonies and I just screamed at and chased away a red fox at 1:30 in the afternoon today. It wasn't scared of me until I was 10 feet away and chasing it from my bantee hens

DAMN! See, it's just not true that foxes are nocturnal. I just saw one today 20 feet in front of me at 1:30 in the afternoon as I screamed at it and chased it away from killing my bantee hen. But it had gotten our bantee rooster&hen earlier. Damn foxes need to be killed&it don't matter whether...

so so sorry. Damn Foxes! They need to be killed when we see them. Could be a weasel. Are you near water, river,stream,pond? Weasels will take one by one each night with no sign. happened to us 3 years ago. they get in thru very tiny holes

Those foxes are very bold. Unafraid of us screaming at them as I saw today. We lost a rooster and 2 bantee hens. Last week 2 full sized hens. Both in mid day. Makes me want to carry our 22 pistol on my hip when I'm out in the yard. Ya, them foxes are relentless. Gotta kill 'em
