I know how you feel. I bought a couple of eggs from a farm, incubated them, watched the chicks grow. And then one day a fox gets into the pen. One chicken had its neck broken on the floor and the other one had vanished. Up to this day I have no idea where it is.

Is it the foxes fault for scavenging, for finding a way round defences made by man, its called nature, not nice but fact

You need to be more cunning than the wily old fox, if you have tghe chickens in a pen then you need to have it fox-proof, if the floor of it had chicken wire below the surface then the fox wouldn't be able to get in.

You've got to take the key off it as well, you know what they are like!

You have to be as cunning as a fox who's just been appointed Professor of Cunning at Oxford University

Maybe, if the fox could not get served his bottle of 20-20 from the off license, because without the beard he looked under age. He would not have had the courage to attack the hens.
