How to fix a fox problem

[ILIKEDUCKS]

hi i am new here and recently two of my runner ducks have been killed by a fox can someone help me with what to do and how to prevent it i am worried he will be back

Figure out how it got in and plug those holes. This assumes that you already have a fairly secure set-up. If you don't, you're going to lose a lot more ducks now that the fox knows where it can get easy meals.

.22 usually works.

Are you fencing in your ducks? Only way to keep them from being preyed on is fencing or secure run covers top to bottom and secure coop. Can you explain how this happened.

 

[ILIKEDUCKS]

I free range them in the morning and in the night they are all closed in a coop which has roof and a run the front and the sides of the run are surrounded by concrete and the other side is my fence

 

[ILIKEDUCKS]

Should I put wood on the back of the run near my fence

 

[Miss Lydia]

I’d rec you keep them up until you take this fox out but I imagine there are more. No fencing? No way would I have any left with out fencing

 

[Miss Lydia]

Should I put wood on the back of the run near my fence

I don’t know what you mean close in the back of your run is that what you mean?

 

[ILIKEDUCKS]

It has fencing it is up against the wall could it be digging from the other side because I found holes

They are locked in a coop at night
