The Dogmother Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Lesley-Jean thinks that it works, and a past poster called Twiglet swears by hers too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Without wishing to tempt fate, I have not seen "our" fox since I installed ours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melcotton Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 I know lots of people who use it really successfully. Seems if you have persistent foxes around then it may be worth the investment. Mel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesley H Posted November 19, 2006 Author Share Posted November 19, 2006 Thanks guys - I think I'm going to get one - aside from losing a chicken to a fox there's the unhappy prospect of a savaging with huge vets bills...so in the long run it could well be cheaper!!!! I appreciate your advice though not relying on it totally - but every little helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theherd123 Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 I have heard that if males pee close to the site of where your chickens are this can deter foxes too. My OH obliged when we built our hen hotel. DONT ever tell him i told you this!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin B Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 You could always get a pair of old socks or tights and go down to the barbers and ask for some hair and then discretely tie it up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buffie Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 odd that Lesley H and I have edited my post as I wondered about the effect it would have on my cars (not much I imagine) so perhaps I meant cats. I am in need of a long sleep BBx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
