Hi,
recently I have had a dog and fox problem. I was able to obtain several chain link dog fences and string them together. I have one section that is 4 feet high and have covered it with dog kennel. I have two other sections that are six feet high and have covered them with tarp. My question is - will a fox dig or jump into a tarped topped kennel in the day. We always put our birds in at night. The fox has only snatched chickens during the day. We are out quite a bit and have dogs. The fox could dig underneath or leap ontop of the tarp and I am sure it would not hold but, I am wondering if they would be that brazen. I am planning on further reinforcing it but, we are going to be out of town soon and I am not sure if I can get it done before then. I have had chickens disapear when I go out of town. It is heartbreaking. I am hoping you all will say that the problem has been 95 percent solved? oh.. also I have a live fox trap but, I have only caught three chickens and a squirrel! Thank you my chicken lovin friends !
