Will a fox attack a human?

[MKetter]

I’ve seen a fox out in the morning when I take the birds out to their run. Twice now. Today it went about 10’ or less up to the run. The chickens all tried to get away from it, going to the other end of the run. I was coming out of the house when I saw this. I ran after it chasing it away. I’m wondering if a fox will turn and run after me and try to attack me. (The run is enclosed. It would have to dig under it to get in.)

A healthy fox will not attack a human. A rabid fox very well might.

This.

If it's too much of a concern, especially if it is coming close to humans (though it's after all that food - aka, your chickens), it might be worth a call to your local game warden.
