Will a fox get through a double layered predator apron of chicken wire?

I never saw a fox near my property until this one. He got 6 of my neighbors chickens in one week. He ran through my yard straight towards me chasing my guineas as they flew over my head. I wouldn’t have ever believed the brazenness of it if someone told me. It ran right between my 100lb goat does. My dog barking her head off inside the house. ZERO fear.

I’ve never lost a bird at night. A neighbors dogs busted through fence once and got 2. A hawk got one, a possum got 2 chicks through the fence one evening and a fox got through cattle panels with chicken wire attached to it. All day time. The fox made several attempts, I shot at him at least 4 times, hit him in the butt once and then hubby neutralized him. A week later there is another fox around.

Hmm. My area does have a major fox problem, but I have NEVER heard of one coming through in the day. I do have neibors with dogs, but frankly they are all tiny, and my garden gate is always closed. My chickens could fly up onto the perches anyway.

Gosh, that’s crazy! I’ve only ever heard of a fox frantically running away!

I couldn’t believe my eyes with that damn fox. Once he got the taste he was around every single day. I was doing all outside chores with a .22 on my back . Crazy. I fired at him at 9am 2:30 pm 4pm. My kids would scream “fox o clock”
You would think the chickens would fly up but they panic and predators bank on that panic.

He would run then turn and look at me. I turned the air blue on many occasions. Running through the woods barefoot. Glad I live in the middle of nowhere. Hubby got the money shot when the fox found my guineas nest. He was busy eating eggs and never saw it coming.

I rarely seen fox during the day, until I got chickens. Now it's all the time. My coop and run is very secure, and I don't free range. The resident fox walks past the coop with just a glance. She knows she's not getting in, but comes over just to see if the gals might be out playing.
