Installing Indoor Cat Tree

[Egluntyne]

Have just glanced up to see a young fox sitting looking at the hens, and all eight of the hens looking back at him.

 

I went out to chase him away and got within about 10 feet of him before he scarpered.

 

He is obviously used to people as he didn't budge until I shouted.

 

There is a local nutter who feeds them, she makes a song and dance about buying chicken breasts and leaving them on her patio for them...so I am blaming her.

 

Is it any wonder that we see rats from time to time?

 

He was very beautiful, with the biggest ears imaginable!

 

It's a pity I didn't have my camera in my pyjama pocket!

[Kathy C]

I am glad he did no harm. It does sound as if you and the hens were as curious about him as he was about you.

[Lesley]

They are beautiful, aren't they?

 

Let's hope he just goes off to where his meat is already waiting for him

[Snowy]

Doesn't sound like your chooks were too bothered by him at least!

[Cinnamon]

Isn't it a shame that something so beautiful can be so destructive?

I rarely see a fox here, but its always a thrill when I do, despite the potential harm it may do.

 

At least your girls weren't too bothered

[Olly]

better to know that he's around ... at least you won't take any risks! I can't help admiring the very fit and handsome looking dog-fox that comes into my garden, even though I wish he wasn't there.

Eglutine,

 

Were you carrying a cabbage by any chance?

[Egluntyne]

Egluntine,

 

Were you carrying a cabbage by any chance?

 

Erm.....no Gina, I wasn't.

 

What makes you ask?

[Lesley]

I'm not the only one wondering then?

[Snowy]

Glad it's not just me! I thought I'd missed something

[The Dogmother]

You on the right thread Gina???

 

Made me laugh Egluntine - glad i'm not the only one doing a crazed harpy impression in the garden in my PJs

 

I love seeing foxes, especially the young ones, but don't like to see them in towns and get cross when people feed them.
