The Nite Guard is a small box with a flashing red light that flashes at night.

can you elaborate how does this help??? does it make the chicken feel the presents of company for self assurance??? what does it do as it sounds interesting

I believe it's to deter predators not soothing for the Birds...

The Nite Guard’s flashing red light makes the predator believe that another predator has spotted it which is one of a predator’s greatest fears. The red light flashes constantly from dusk till dawn. It is solar powered and has a 3 year garuntee if I remember correctly. Stomberg’s chickens sells them.

You put it outside your coop.

I would have to try it out and see if it repeals predators??? Over time I may get one but for now I must use the money for galvanized wire.

Of course take your time. They are a bit pricey but it has worked great for me. Fox in town for neighbors’ 3 hens on 3 different nights in one week.

Here is the official Strombergs Chickens description of the Nite Guard: https://www.strombergschickens.com/product/nite-guard/pest-control-and-traps. I got my Nite Guard from them definitely worth the money.

Hello. I understand that you'd prefer not to kill this fox, but I've had issues with red ones and they're honestly no longer welcome on my property.
They are very distructive creatures that can do a lot of harm. I've even witnessed a fox family stalk a deer right in front of me along with kill two of my Guineafowl. They are not nice animals. As far as trapping a releasing goes, it may seem good, but in no way is it. It will give the fox the opportunity to hurt other folk's family pets and even carry a sickness.

Since I understand you'd prefer not to put the fox to his misery, I strongly agree with the Nite Guard idea and that I think this will best suit your needs. Good luck, God bless. Have anice evening and please keep us filled in.

P.S.

And with my opinions given above, I am not by any means trying to go against your own wishes and concerns. Just want the best for you and your birds.
