Leghorns are great egg laying chickens. They are friendly to other Leghorns and can easily fly. The only problems is that they are bad in the pecking order and they can make a mess of the yard.... -

So then everyone on here told me to wire the bait to the back of the trap. (frozen chicken is easier) I cut a chicken breast in 4 pieces taking 2 and looping the wire through the meat 3 times to he would really have to jerk on it then twisted the ends together so it was nice and snug on the bottom corner. I also placed a piece before the plate and in front of the trap. My fox would always take the two easy pieces first then couldnt help but come back for the others later. If the fox seems trap shy I would make it so the trap doesnt go off for like 2 days just so it gets comfy then set it. This time I caught him I had to up the anty I used a piece of raw chicken pushed the wire through then covered it in peanut butter putting dog food all over it and put it back in the freezer for a little bit (my neighbor feeds the fox peanut butter and dog food) then once the peanut butter got firm I wired it to the back bottom of the trap
