I just watched one of my girls get mauled by a fox. The hens have been hanging out right on our front porch - this fox is not afraid of coming that close. I've seen it hanging out around the coop after I lock them up. I'm sure this won't be the last time he comes back.
So besides never letting them roam free ever again, is there anything I can do to deter foxes? We live in a pretty heavily wooded area, but will be clearing most of the woods over the next few weeks. Are they less likely to come out in the open?
Hate losing chickens
