Hens kill fox

[Flummery]

Looking at the run, I'm surprised they haven't lost more to foxes. It's a bit Heath Robisnon. Any fox with an ounce of sense could get under or over that fence. Disgrace!

[rustylady]

Agree with Flum, the run needs fox-proofing. As to the chicken murderers, I think the fox must have been dead before they started pecking at it. May have been ill or near death anyway, maybe the table falling killed it.

This is actually just down the road from me.... its on sky news lol

Well done those chooks! Ok, foxes are beautiful to look at and they probably (possibly) keep the rodent population down a bit but I'd resort to anything when it come to keeping my chooks safe from them. Hope they all got extra special treats

[Snadger]

The way the headlines could have read:-

'Poor emaciated old fox, try's to find a nice dark place to crawl away and die and is set upon by a bunch of half starved chooks!'

there were quite a few puns on there..... Souns to me tho it was locked in with them

I know it's not nice to gloat...but I can't wait to tell Myrtle, Maude and Madge

That fox looks like it's been dead quite a while.

[Jeanied]

It hit quite a few other media as well - including the east anglian. (not known for its shock tactics).

[DaveJ]

Yes, the story does seem to have spread across the media. This morning it was on BBC.
