I finished the coop and have been locking the chickens up. That was part of the problem. I had about 45 two-month-olds that had outgrown the grow out pen. As long as everyone was just roosting in the coops it wasn't a problem but then the fox came along and life got hard. I am locking them...
For Pete's sake...... you could just come right out and call me a moron, oh you pretty much did. I have not seen a fox, my neighbor on his 20 acres told me he has seen a fox. I was in the process of building a new coop when all of this started, at first I didn't even know I was missing a hen...
This is good advice but it is difficult to sit all day waiting for him to appear. My coops are very strong. He is taking them while they free range. How do I get rid of him besides shooting him? I don't have the time that requires.
A fox eats lunch here every day. He likes Ameraucana and Cream Legbar hens. He doesn't like the big hens. How can I get rid of him? I have been told a box trap won't work. Someone told me leg traps but they are just based on luck if he happens to walk where we have a trap. Please any...
