Welcome to BYC from West TN !

I saw a post a couple of weeks back about some one catching a fox in a live trap doing the following.

Set live trap with a bird cage placed against the back end.. Then covering all with a tarp to black it out. They are usually pretty tough to catch in a live trap.

If the fox is still getting into the coop or run and you can keep the other pets away you could also look into using a cable snare.. Check youtube on how to make and set..

Last resort make your coop a fort knox to keep them out.

Good Luck and Let us Know how it goes.

How are they getting in?....that's what you need to fix.
Hot wire around coop works good too.
