That is why I would recommend taking drastic measures AT this time. When keeping chickens remember that at this time that a dead fox in the hand is worth 2 dead foxes in the brush. The same math is not true of chickens. Also I have yet to see either a fox or a vixen adopt an orphaned clutch of chicks and raise them for you.. You must decide which you desire most, chickens or foxes.Greetings to a Fellow East Texan!
..... I would like to add a couple of things to the conversation. First let me say I have had my battles with a red fox .... Second, before you take any drastic measures please remember that fox currently has young who will slowly starve to death without the adult.....
