Glad you joined the Backyard chickens flock. I suggest you check out the coops section too for predator and ventilation, etc. info. One of the best things to do is NOT use flimsy chicken wire. Instead get 1/2" hardware cloth and attach it securely to your fence frame. I do not have stock in the company.

Fox are a tough predator to deal with since they are intelligent, can dig under and go over fences. Michael O'Shay has given you some good information to read up on, hope it helps.
