I thought the hens unusually noisy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

No unsupervised free ranging for a while.

[Space Chick]

Cheeky blighter

[quickcluck]

Cricky what time of the day was that?

[Egluntyne]

[Cooks]

[Ain't Nobody Here]

Oh my word . Thank goodness they weren't out at the time .

 

(Great photos, btw!)

[alih]

goodness, mine would have been out and about by then...pesky fox

[xScrunchee]

I took photo's of a fox this morning too!!!

6.15 am sniffing around the chicken run, guinea pig hutch and the shed where Kev sleeps.

Then it started digging holes in my grass, had a poo and a good ol' scratch before spotting me and running away!!!

 

 

Looked more scruffy than Egluntines one though. Probably got mange.

[CluckyBucks]

Good job they werent free ranging

[Space Chick]

OH pees into a a milk bottle (as they have larger tops than pop bottles), then waters the garden

[Redwing]

Thank goodness they werent out and about the garden

[Kit]

OMG how lucky for you that the girls were still safely locked in their run.

 

Foxes are gorgeous but as hen keepers we don't want them near our chicks!

[mostin]

Wow , close one.

 

Your girls may sulk at for a while, but it's for their own good.

OH pees into a a milk bottle (as they have larger tops than pop bottles)

 

should we be careful about what size bottle we suggest for our OHs?

[Cooks]

I have been drinking wine I wont comment

The henkeeper's nightmare--or early morning panic, in this instance. How terrible for you, Egluntine, though as others have said, at least your chickens weren't out free ranging.

 

What are you going to do now? I would really be at a loss for a strategy, except for watching 24-7 which, of course, is impossible.

 

Fingers crossed!

[Groovychook]

Phew! Thank goodness they were safely tucked away!

[chelsea]

Yikes!

 

Looks a very "clean" fox for an urban dweller.

[Egluntyne]

Yikes!

 

Looks a very "clean" fox for an urban dweller.

[smokiechicken1969]

[jomaxsmith]

OH pees into a a milk bottle

what a dreadful sight to behold in your garden!!!! Oooh its such a daily dilemma & risk .. if at ours . . the chickens soo easily could've just been let out as I meander back into kitchen to pop the the kettle on !!! Sooo glad all yours were safely secure in their home run.

 

Ahem - joining in with the p ittle thread .. tee hee I upgraded my 'milk bottle' to a CIF spray, although I do also ask dearest other half if he would also do the honours of spraying . .. hee hee to spray - empty as well as refill

Great photos. She/he is a very healthy looking fox but not something you want to see in your garden.

 

Foxes are a daily occurence in my garden which is why I had to resort to electric fencing for peace of mind.

 

I hope you find a solution that works for you.
