Fact.Second point is bang on the money. but not just foxes. Feral polecats and ferrets and once we even caught a badger that had been decimating ducks every night. They often dont even eat the kills which is strangely more annoying because if they'd ate them, you could understand it as survival Only thing is a good coop on legs and surround the field in chainlink fencing, ideally burried three feet deep as the carnivores will dig to get at em.</blockquote>
