Why didn't fox attack?

[McChooky]

All animals have a home area they tend to stick to. Only the males will roam but thats during mating season. If you see something like a fox then you are in its area. More likely you have more than one that home areas overlap around you. Raising chickens brings predators out of the woodwork.

Around my place I trap and shoot. Sell the hides to pay for more traps and ammo. Taking out one just leaves a hole for another to fill so it's neverending.

The thought of shooting or trapping something hungry and looking for a meal just makes me nauseous. I deliberately built my coop close to the house and driveway so theres a lot of traffic and a street light.I hope to avoid as many encounters as possible this way.I do have a weapon if needed .I am adding an electric fence this week for added protection.
