Mr or Mrs fox is about.............

I read this post before I went to bed last night. Had the most odd dream (probably fed from reading BM's post), that a fox got into my coop and was waiting for the chickens to get back in. In the morning when I'd opened the door, my chooks were still alive in the coop, but the fox (who actually was veggiechickens dog) has plucked the wings and front of my chooks.


Odd.

cuckoo !

Well, I think the golfer was a rotter- but I would probably despatch a fox hanging around my chickens - its there, its seen them, it will never give up.

Same here..

I saw the fox thing lastnight, interesting, but if it had been my chickens the fox had killed, I don't think I'd have sent for someone who was intending to release it back in the same area (and released elsewhere it would most likely either come back, or get killed trying to).
Yesterday on another forum I came across a story about dogs getting ill after swimming in a much-swollen river, and responding to treatment for agricultural-chemical poisoning (which may not be the issue, just something that gets treated the same way). Wonder whether the mother of the cubs that died had come back wet with similarly polluted wetness on her underside, so they got poisoned? I think the person filming missed an opportunity to find one of those dead cubs for a PM.

Hello there! I'm in the Old Town. It's not the first time we've seen them, they are about.

I love to see families of foxes playing in the field, safe in the knowledge my chickens are behind electric fencing.

Mums neighbours get a vixen and cubs that come into the garden alot. she enjoys watching them and there helping keep the rabbits down , which have caused her no end of trouble.
See theres a place for every animal except pigeons.

Hey Chris, I've only just seen this! Fancy dreaming about my dog(s). I'll have you know one of them has very few teeth, so it wouldn't have been her, and the other one is scared witless about most things - including chooks. Go find yourself someone else's dog to dream about!!
