Trapping and taking a fox away from their babies would mean death to the young ones, who did nothing wrong. A fox relocated and released is illegal, and also illegal to kill outside of hunting season.

They want to survive just as much as we do. Best to do what is necessary to keep them away, things are again peaceful because foxes are hunting elsewhere.

Legal Status
Foxes in the United States are listed as furbearers or given some status as game animals by most state governments. Most states allow for the taking of foxes to protect private property. Check with your state wildlife agency for regulations before undertaking fox control measures.

If you don't secure your poultry from dusk till dawn, you might as well hang a dinner bell up.
Wild predators fight for survival every waking moment of their lives. Every moment they are searching for a food source. Once they find a source, they stay until the source is used up and then move on.
A door on your coop will not only protect your investment, but it will also CUT OFF the drive thru restaurant that your predator has established and ultimately it/they will search for a new restaurant.
A correctly installed Electric hot wire physiological barrier, also will act as an insurance policy. Giving you peace of mind and you will continue to have a steady flow of breakfast eggs in the future.

Here in Florida, you may trap them IF they are a threat to livestock ON your property. But it is mandatory to dispatch them. I was told if we didn't have the stomach to dispatch, call a LICENSED trapper.
