Important!! What are good ways to protect chickens from foxes?

[goodb]

They need a sturdy coop and outdoor run - no flimsy chicken wire but, strong 1/2 inch hardware cloth and a cover on the run to prevent climbers, and predators jumping down from trees, as well as hawks.
Fox are very determined and clever, they can dig under, climb and jump high. Are you allowed to trap./shoot them in Australia? Please check out the predator forum on BYC for better advice. Welcome to Backyard chickens.
A good livestock guardian dog or two, would make quick work of them.
