I have lived on my place since 1984 and never seen a fox. This morning I let my Buffs and Delawares out to range at the usual time, 7:00am. I went inside the house to fix breakfast and looked out my kitchen window to see feathers everywhere. I grabbed my shotgun, went outside and a Buff was dead, almost eaten, a Delaware was walking around wounded. Lifted my shotgun and fired and missed as the Red Fox jumped a five foot chicken wire fence. I'm a good shot but that fox was so fast I never had a chance. I've lost a few chickens now and then and never saw what got them. It can happen so fast and not much you can do about it.
 
very sorry for your loss

you could try a silent alarm that foxes can hear and absolutly hate

it works on cats and dogs and coons and cyotes too
 
That looks very effective
