Hello. Just came here to tell story. First time saw fox runing after hen, then catch hen in mouth, turnaround and run away. Was hearing chickens running and screaming, as I was next, I start to run after it in forest, forest is right next to free range zone, and they go ranging in there. So I run after it 300-400 meters, screaming, first 250 meters I was close, then started to more scrubs fallen trees, starting to lose visual contact, then I stopped at wet marshland, stoped, turn around, and saw hen, at first I thought its other hen, which was runed away, but no, it was the hen carried by fox.
He had biten *** part, bit raw, little bit bone pushed up, smth like it. More on one side, other is okey.
As that was mine hatched and bred chicken, I just spray Blue kote and put her in cage with water and chicken food, laying hen food, grains.
So, my hunt after fox, payed back, and I was disturbing his runaway and he dropped hen. Hoping hen recover well, and gonna lay eggs again. At first, hope she wont be dead in morning.
P.S, was counting my hens before 3 days, and found out I had lost two. I had 48 birds now.
But nothing showed birds had attacked, no hiding or swearing. Today I found out other hen feathers in forest. So, ya.. Thought fox gonna watch for food bit later, but mby they offsprings are born already.
