keechoo, please don't let your guard down. I was just checking the dates of your posts...the fox does come back on a fairly reg. basis. Easy pickins...in the fox's mind. He seems to have found a buffet from your house to your neighbors. Is there anyone else in your neighborhood who has chickens? I pray you don't lose anymore but until that fox is disposed of someone is going to be losing chickens. Good luck and keep us posted.
