Fox proofing

[quailtortoisegoat]

I have a fair-sized garden with a wall surrounding three out of four walls the fourth wall is only around six feet on the neighbor's side and two feet on ours. We wanted to free-range our chickens and have put a 3-foot fence above our wall but this has done nothing to prevent foxes entering from the other side. What would be the best technique to stop them from entering.
any help appreciated.

Added photos these show both sides of the wall at the only location the chickens or foxes could escape/enter

I noticed you have been a member for awhile but this is your first post. .
I have electric wire around my coops and pens. Here the fox primarily are diggers so I have electric wire around my coops and pens, concrete under the gates and heavy duty netting covering the pens.

Here the Fox have to go over a 6' fence but then they try to dig into the run rather than trying another over the top jump.
Maybe they can see the wire I have over the chicken run.

With fox being a big threat I wouldn't let them roam the yard unattended.

We had fox jumping over our 4th high electric poultry netting fence. We replaced it with 6’ fencing with high power electric wire running around the top and outside bottom. Fingers crossed, nothing coming thru yet. It’s about a quarter acre area.

If you are sure they can't get over the wall, then electric fencing or netting would be great for the remaining side, I think. Make sure it is high enough, though.

Hi! Hubby is from Dorset! Lucky me, he came to NJ USA just for me!
I wouldn’t trust that a fox couldn’t get over the wall. They are clever as a ...well, a fox! I’m a big believer in covering the run with 1/2 inch hardware cloth,sides,top,and a 2 ft apron around the perimeter. Free ranging, if you dare, should only be while being supervised during the day.

I can feel the pain. Several months ago a fox killed my very special bird. Her name was Gladys. I don't usually name my birds except for the special ones. Gladys was a cross beak that I had hatched out and raised. Normally I cull but I somehow missed Gladys. She had her own coop with other birds now and then that might need a bit of extra TLC. She was 3 years old when a a fox took her during the middle of the day when I was distracted. I had been seeing a fox on my cameras more at night. When she didn't come when I called her I knew something was wrong. I found some piles of feathers. I followed the trail but never did find her. I cried. I put traps out and caught the fox. It was mangy and boy did it stink. I knew it was a risk to let her out and but let my guard down. I still blame myself for not putting her back in her pen. She was dust bathing when I last saw her. When a predator breaks in somehow that is a little different I realize, but it's still hard to loose a bird to a predator.
