Hi all

[scargman]

Hi guys. I've kept chickens for 20 years. I started when I lived on open farm land and never had any problems. However, I have moved to a town and a fox has wiped out my flock! I'm hoping to get some advice and also to share anecdotes about what has worked for me.

Welcome to BYC!
I'm sorry about your flock.
Have you tried trapping?

Hello and welcome to BYC!

As in trapping the fox? No. To be honest, I have no bad feelings towards it. Instead, I feel disappointed in myself for assuming, based on my past experiences, all would be fine. I just want to teach the fox to be scared of entering the, area.

I've posted here with my plans for improved security https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/advice-needed.1557989/

I'm in the UK and I think we have have quite strict rules about electric fencing in urban areas.
