Nutmeg Posted January 6, 2010 Author Share Posted January 6, 2010 Thank you to everyone. Seagazer, I think we got ours within a few days of each other. Glad that your girls are all safe. Sadly, I have found the missing one, she was behind the compost bin. Thanks again to you all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chook n Boo Mum Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 I'm so sorry to hear your dreadful news....over the next couple of months there's more chance of the foxes being daring in the daylight as they will have cubs to feed.....with or without the added desperation that snow brings Sha x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docsquid Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Just heard from a friend in the Scottish Borders. She lost nearly all her bantams to a fox yesterday Seems like they are getting very bold and very hungry. I'm only letting mine out while I'm out there with them while the cold weather lasts.

Cranfield Kate Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 that's terrible and a real warning to me. they won't be FRing now till the snow has gone anyway but I shall be double vigilant. I'm so sorry you lost them and in such a grim way. fingers crossed number 4 is okay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlo Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Really sorry to hear your news. I have often let mine out unsupervised when I am around the house and, like you, haven't had a problem up to now but will be more careful. I know that it isn't really any consolation but you have probably saved a few more chooks by posting about this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frogprincess Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Oh, that's really awful - I'm so sorry. I've been letting mine out all day, as I have an electric fence, but I know they aren't perfect, and maybe, having heard your sad news, I'll have to keep my three shut up until it gets warmer.

Tutti Frutti Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Oh no, I was so hoping you'd find her hiding somewhere. Such sad news Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joegg Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 So sorry. Its more by luck than judgement that ours havent suffered the same fate, dont blame yourself the weather is making the foxes braver - this is the first time ive seen foxes in our garden. I had a warning while our chooks were locked up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blodri Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 So sorry for your loss - it's such a horrid shock. We lost our first two in November in broad daylight when the fox jumped our wire fencing. We now have it electrified but I'm not letting them out with the snow around as snow on the electric fence is reducing its 'kick' and I'm afraid it may not be enough to put a desperate fox off.

whoopsie Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 So sorry to hear what has happened. I must admit I don't let mine run about unless i'm there and have been feeling guilty for not letting them free range much. It's a temptation to leave them for a bit but I guess it's never really safe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
