Some of my favorite hens and ducks have been going missing for the last couple of days. Today my DH yells, and said" honey you better get out here, I know what is taking your hen's". I go running, and there it is a dad gum fox. A red fox, broad daylight came into my yard and took one of my girls while DH was standing there. Sucker was fast couldn't get to her in time. I set the dogs on it, but they didn't get it. I called DNR, and they told me if I could to shoot it because it will keep coming back. Well, it has been coming for about a week now. Problem is DH took the shot gun away from me cause I told the neighbor I would shoot his dog if it killed any more of my birds. We don't have animal control. Anyway, I am going to have to camp out now. I hate to shoot it, I told DNR I would rehome it, but they said the best thing to do is shoot it.

I woke up this morning to a barn full of dead chickens, It came back last night, and wiped out at least 20 birds. I lost my mottled japanese bantams, and a bunch more. I have been cleaning up from the kill. Tonight, I am going hunting. I borrowed a .22 from my nieghbor, and I am going hunting. One shot, one kill. Out of 100 birds I am lucky if I have 30 left. It's my fault, I should have fixed the barn door.
