Lost nearly my whole flock to foxes last year. This spring my neighbors killed 2 foxes and no one last any chickens all summer. Suddenly we have another fox in the neighborhood. I lost one of my "wild" chickens. When they were young Gary was in the hospital and I didn't realize they weren't in the coop at night so they got used to sleeping in the trees. I'm working at catching them and clipping their wings to keep them inside the Premier electric netting I put up. I've had no problems with my older chickens that are staying inside the netting.
There are several threads on BYC about electric netting. Some people have used it for years and have not lost a chicken to a 4 legged predator since they installed it.
