Fox den 20 yards from front door, 70 yards from barn/coop.

and if you build a secure run, do put a roof on it. That will keep out climbers and raptors as well.

I'm sure you can find cutesy you tube videos of baby fox. I know there is one where a man sorta tamed a fox - you can never trust them. That's the best way to view them and doesn't hurt your chickens.

I have red fox here, but never had an issue I could blame on them, maybe because I have dogs. I know they are here as I have seen him about 3/4 mile south of me.
Now when I was a kid a wolf pup came up and we took it in as a pet/dog. When he grew up he vanished, then one day he stepped out of the woods and looked at me. He had brought his family to show me, she and the pups stepped out for me to view. I never seen any of them again.
Here I could shoot them (if a problem) but not relocate without pre-approval from wildlife management.
I do use live traps and foot traps, a big coon will destroy the live trap fast. Never caught a fox in anything,, good luck!!

That must’ve been a beautiful sight to see He remembered you and showed how great full he was to you just amazing
