also,if you have already seen the fox,it may be wise to go ahead and set a live trap.get him before he has a chance to get your chickens!

sounds good.the only thing i would do is slowly replace those zip ties with the hog ring clamps or j-clips.the zip ties will not last in the weather and they will pop off.you may not notice it until there is a big gap somewhere.also make sure the doors and windows are secure.the doors are never as secure as the rest of the pen becuase we need to get in also.
i have chicken wire at the bottom over my chain link to keep coons from reaching thru and it is also buried a foot out underground(under the door also).there is 2x4 welded wire over the top.i think my pen is pretty secure from everything except maybe a bear or mt. lion.
we have a resident fox for awhile now but i am comfortable with my pen.if he gets one ,it will be my fault.
