A coworker told me that foxes are very hard to catch in a box trap. I appreciate everyone's advice. I've free ranged my chickens for 8 years with no problems except for this past year. It's very discouraging.
My chickens free range during the day on a fenced-in acre. Found a pile of feathers by the fence which is close to a tree. No body found. This is the second day in a row it's happened. Chickens are mostly 3-4 months old. Happens around 9am the past two mornings. I'm leaving them locked in...
Both of my 6 week old turkeys were found dead within a week. 1 or 2 deep puncture marks on side of the breast. Skin removed in a small patch but not much more damage than that. Both were found near the edges of the fence. Could it have been a hawk that was interrupted?
Only thing in the ordinance is under agriculture section 417. Need a lot of at least 2 acres, coop 100 feet from property line and 200 feet from a neighbors home. All I could find any way.
