Well not yet, but close enough. A fox has been picking my chics off one by one. Even my two roosters! My chix get to free range during the day, all day. Then at night they go back into their coop. They are some of the happiest chickens I know! Until recently when I started keeping them cooped up for their own safety. A sly ole fox has been dining on my egg makers. Everyday I would come home and another would be gone. I actually caught it in the act of running off with one, so there I went chasing a fox down the road with my pistol. No luck it dove off into the brush before I could get to it.
My next step is a trap, although I have heard many haven't had much luck with this method either. Will the fox move on if the drive-thru is closed for awhile? I hate having to keep the girls locked up for the rest of their lives.
