Well, 41 laying hens so far this month, last post was on 4/8/16. Set up trail camera and got a great picture of large male red fox sniffing Connibear trap at small door to hen house (will try to post). But we all know foxes only kill for food not for fun, right? WRONG, Thursday evening at dusk my wife heard commotion in chicken pen and chased large male red fox over 6' chain link fence before I could get there with shotgun (younger wives can run faster).In less then 2 minutes he had killed 4 of the replacement hens and tore up 6 others. So the old man spent 4 hours on the roof of the pole barn in the bright moonlight and saw nothing. Friday night at 7 I decided roof was to uncomfortable and I would sit in skidloader facing chicken pen. Hens went in house around 8, about 8:15 fox comes trotting out of woods toward chicken pen sees something different in shed where I'm sitting in loader and comes to investigate, got within 10 yards before 2 ounces of 4 shot stopped him. Hope this ends chicken predation for a while.
