It was around 6:15 am in the morning that I heard the commotion. I heard panicked squawks from the chickens outside my window. I thought the flock of 9 was just being annoyed by plovers...but when I looked out my window...a fox was chasing them around. I gasped and ran to the laundry door in my pyjamas and saw...the fox running off... Perri in mouth. I screamed Perri's name. The fox looked at me then kept running. No way...my favourite chicken...this can't be real. I ran to wake my dad up. I choked in tears as I told him what happened. Now we have a flock of 8. They are locked up in the run now...safe. I can't believe it. I am staying home today...grieving about what happened. I have collected some feathers of hers...drained one of her last eggs. I am absolutely devastated. I live in Aus, and I have no gun on me. I would like to get someone out to 'take care' of the fox but that is not right. Its spring and its breeding season for animals. The fox probably has a family. I am really sad at the moment. I wish this never happened. Perri was an araucana so she couldn't see properly...the poor thing. She was my favourite...we raised her from a chick. My sister let them out this morning and thinks it's her fault - which it isn't. I will remember my girl forever...she was so sweet..a little bit silly too...rest in peace Perri, till I see you again... your owner Laura❤View attachment 2374660View attachment 2374661

Thank u for your concern

Thank u for your concern

If it makes you feel any better I went through the same thing last year, fox got 12 of my chickens (I didn’t witness it but I found my rooster half dead) and I was devastated. But it does get better, my heart still aches when I see a picture of them but over time you attach to a different pet and whilst it still is painful it’s not as bad and you are left with just the happy memories

A dedication to a beloved friend's chicken!
RIP Perri, may you be reunited with your past flock family.

(Chicken griffins) And an extra dedication to her past cockerel, and my boy licorice, may they all be together!

I'm so sorry for your loss!
She was beautiful...
I'm sure she'll be very happy where she is.

Aww! My hens almost met the same fate with a neighborhood falcon! A couple days ago. And in April with my dog!
