clucking mad Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Foxes don't seem bothered about coming near houses and people do they. if you are there then they wont attack because they are scared of humans, i hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzie Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 I'm not sure that's true about foxes. A fox took our two girls when they were free ranging, I was in and out of the garden all evening, he just waited until I went inside. He came back again that evening and walked right up onto our patio and looked through the window. A couple of people have had chickens attacked when they've been in the garden - maybe in the shed or greenhouse. Someone on here said that a fox walked into their friend's house through the open back door. Urban foxes don't seem that bothered by people.

Hazel_L Posted May 1, 2008 Author Share Posted May 1, 2008 I'm just worried that fencing them in - using something like electrified poultry netting if a fox manages to get in will leave them nowhere to run... My rationale with letting them range and leaving their wings unclipped was that they could at least have a good stab at getting away... Immaterial as they're confined to their roofed run till I sort something else - I'd never forgive myself if any more got taken in the next few days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
