Nicola O Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 ....whilst the girls were out freeranging I heard a couple of loud 'bocks', looked out and they were all standing in the middle of the lawn staring and the side of the garden (couldn't see that side from where I was) but there was no alarm calls or panicing from anyone so I didn't worry. 30 seconds later a fox crept round the veg beds along the very back of the garden. He was slinking around the far edges of the garden - as though he didn't want to be seen - def. not stalking the girls (though that's not to say that he wouldn't have done so if the dog and I hadn't charged straight out). Natrually, the girls went straight back in their runs, phew. Nicola Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auntielizzie Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Definitely a lot of foxes around lately. Ive not seen one in my garden (yet) but Ive certainly spotted quite a few about when driving backwards and forwards in the evenings locally. I live about half way down a very long residential road, and at one end there is quite a large woods. I have seen fox/foxes down that end of the street quite often. Also saw one almost directly across the road a couple of years ago (before I had chickens) in someone's frong garden. Definitely need to be on my guard.
