patsylabrador Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Last year my parent's two ducks and their neighbour's five bantams disappeared overnight. There was no real sign of carnage, just a few feathers. Foxes have been blamed but I wasn't sure, I had a duck stolen by a tramp when I lived in Wilts. Having read various threads where people have had poultry stolen, I think that is what happened. Have people had chickens/ducks taken by foxes without carnage, it seems a shame for foxes to take the rap for humans! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 No personal experience, but reading posts on here, yes it is possible for a fox to remove several hens without much sign of anything - especially if it's at night when they are sleepy.

tom123 Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Very possible, it could have been either tbh but it sounds more likely to be a fox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Speckled Hen Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 I had four hens foxed with no signs in the run or coop. One body was found in a neighbour's asparagus bed and one in their children's sandpit but ne'er a feather in our garden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
