Hello, and welcome to BYC. Electric fencing is a great deterrent for mammalian predators if you are allowed to use it.

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
I think it's ridiculous to be denied securing your birds with electric fencing. Once upon a time before the chargers pulsed, a child could get "stuck" on the fence and that could certain cause serious injury. But today's chargers pulse so all a kid would get is a zap. AND they shouldn't be on private property regardless.
I love my electric poultry netting. I've never had a ground predator loss since confining my birds with it.

So sorry for the loss of your flock. Do you know how the fox got it? Hard wire cloth, barbed wire, and a buried fence should help keep him out since electric wire is not an option. I hope you'll be able to rebuild your flock and get your coop secured quickly!

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! Merry Christmas!
I’m sorry about the fox attack.
