WitchHazel Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 So sorry to hear abou tthis Dave. I would definitely contact Foxwatch. Either something is wrong wit the UNit, or it was sited somewhere where people/hens/cats were setting it off constantly, this using up the power.

Olly Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Very sorry to hear about your chickens, that's awful. What I would say is that while Foxwatch is a deterrent, it's not an absolute prevention of foxes - so even if it had been working, there's no guarantee that it would have stopped a hungry and determined fox. I still think they are good, mine has put the fox off coming into the garden but I wouldn't rely on it totally. I hope you'll feel able to get some more chickens once your run is all secure.

ennarelwof Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 I'm so sorry to hear about your girls - a similar thing has just happened to me. I had my ladies for a few years, free ranging until dusk when they tucked themselves up for the night. All I had to do was close the door. Well all has been well up until thursday evening, when I left it too late(9.30)I heard my poor girls but couldn't get to them on time and the fox had struck. I am finding it hard to come to terms with as I am solely to blame!I fully understand how you feel ,but I am glad to have found this forum for all the support from it's wonderful members. Sending you a big cuddle and my shared sadness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
