geb0205 Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 The fox has just been, and killed my 2 bantams Speckle and Freckle, right outside my back door. Its absolute carnage outside I cant face to clear it up. RIP girls, sorry I let you down. Puzz and Fuzz are now shut in the greenhouse and are totally shellshocked.

Chuckov Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Oh my goodness you poor thing How awful for you and your girls to have to go through that..{{{{big hug}}}} You didn't let them down, foxes are conniving beggars and it probably was just waiting for it's chance There wouldn't have been anything you could have done.

cluckbok Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Really sorry to hear that. Bloomin foxes pain in the backside!!! Don't blame yourself you can't be watching them every second.

Janty Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 So sorry to hear about your girls. Please don't feel guilty. As others have said, there was nothing that you could have done. You can't be with them all the time and at least they had a lovely, happy life free-ranging in your garden. Jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
