just found that the local fox has taken 6 of my chickens, ok I've still got 11 but that's not the point, I let them roam free so that they have a good life, perhaps I should fence them in, that way they might live longer.
I know in the big wide world it is an insignificant thing and there are people on here who have far worse problems than me. but I'm just upset and as the Lass is still at work I have to vent my feeling somewhere, so you lot have got it instead.
Aaaaaah !

they do not fail to shit in the most obscure places and they must do it on purpose... on top of slides, on dog toys...dirty bastards.
that Basil Brush has got a lot to answer for.
Our cat was already in most of the time so when i went to investigate i always knew one of the little Ginger fckers would have his bonce through door.
Ha ha, that's a great quote Macronate, even though I don't agree with it.
I love foxes. But humans; they think they own every scrap of land on the planet and that any other animal is trespassing.
The real problem with foxes is twofold. Firstly we've ripped up their natural habitats to make huge featureless fields that can't support them. Secondly, we are so wasteful that we leave leftover food and waste outside for them to eat. Of course they're going to kill chickens, explore cat flaps and crap on the lawn, we've made it so that the only easy existence they've got is to come into town and live with us.
For all that though, I am sorry to hear about your chickens Lancs.
If the answer to the any of the above is no, get a professional in!
In a built up area, I'd use a live capture traps and take any fox to my vet (who would be pre-warned) to be euthanized.
Section 161 of the Highways Act 1980 England & Wales; makes it an offence to discharge a firearm within 50 ft of the centre of a highway having vehicular rights without lawful authority or excuse, if as a result a user of the highway is injured, interrupted or endangered.
you are right of course but they are one of the only animals i know that deliberately set out to wind you up. why else would a fox crap on top of a kids slide? some of the angles they land their turds on could only be achieved by their mates holding them up. swear i can hear the sniggering at me as they're doing it.
i've just seen one this evening whilst cooking my dinner. it sat outside my kitchen window waiting for something. as for the turds, there is a strange thing they do. if i put food out in a bowl for them, quite often they will leave a turd in the bowl.
The blighters have taken the right pish since the ban
There's loads of them now all firmed up wand ready for it
They need taking down a peg or too them and the moles
I know the moles are plotting a take over and are using the foxes as front men for the impending invasion

Urban scroats. They go round in hoodies here.
I find cats are as much of a deterrent as dogs. Mine are vicious little gits, and chase foxes whenever they end up in the back garden. I saw one of mine chase a fox right up the garden path, clawing at it's back and jumping on it as they ran over the fence a couple of years back. Unfortunately, this is a recipe for disaster, because if the fox ever had no escape route and was cornered by the cat, it would tear it to bits.
No easy answer, other than making people put their rubbish in lockable bins.
