So my husband saw a very skinny fox hanging out near our chicken coop this morning. He opened the door and it ran into the woods behind our house. Our coop has a hardware cloth apron around it. Other than digging, is there any other way the fox would try to get in? The coop and run are covered.
I guess we are going to have to have the girls in the portable pen for a while and not free range, either, unless we are right out with them.
We are worried not only about the chickens but also about our two outdoor cats. The fox is very skinny, so it is either very hungry or possibly has babies. Hubby didn't get a close enough look to see if it was a nursing mom.
