Fox attacking

[SongBaby33]

Please help

Pics of your coop and run? The only thing you can do is secure your enclosures and trap/kill the fox.

Snare, trap, shoot the fox. Pen your birds and install electric fencing around the pen. The fox will not leave the buffet on its own. Good luck.

After securing your coop, install some electric poultry netting.

I have had chickens for many years. I started out with a old garage for my coop. Boards were loose. Gaps and cracks were everywhere. Things could dig there way in. Not good and many of my chickens paid the ultimate price for my lack of knowlege.
I finaly got tired of loosing and replacing my birds and of patching up the stupid garage, tore it down along with 2 other decrepid outbuildings and my husband and i build a new coop from the old lumber we salvaged.
My chickens are now safe at night while roosting.
You must walk around your coop and look for and repair all the points of entry. Hardware cloth is a chicken owners best defense. Chickens are absouletly helpless at night, and they depend on you to keep them safe.
If a fox is getting in, thats a pretty big hole or opening.
I recomend also a game camera to point at your coop. Another tool a long time chicken owner is giong to need. They are not as expensive as they used to be.
I am sorry for the trouble you are having!

Can you move your chickens to somewhere safer?
While you fix your run?
How is it getting in?

Foxes remember where food is. They will be back. The fox comes back when you least expect it. Be prepared.

I agree with this. I’ve had them come back two days later when you think the coast is clear
