B..........foxes

You have a good cat there to catch a rat hope you threw that over the hedge for the fox save it trying to catch something else.
I have been reading up on the net about chickens as the pro's seem to put electric fences up to keep foxes out. Two strands of wire around the fences conected to the mains saw one for sale on ebay.
Most farmers will accept the fact that foxes will take the odd young new born pig/lamb at home mum always threw the afterbirth of the lambs into the hedges for the foxes to have and they left the young lambs alone.
You could always try the old, way foxes go by sent, to mark your garden ( urine ) if you know where it came through its worth a try and keep renewing it.
Good luck Teresa

Palustris:
Strange but true. Attilla the Hen turned up today at our neighbours garden 300 metres down the road. Much to the delight of their male bird who spent the day shepherding his new wife about. Hopefully she will go to roost in their coop and can be brought back tomorrow. So we have lost only one. So far. One of the Firiesians would not come in tonight and is now skulking somewhere in the garden.
Will try the scent thing tomorrow. Been lucky really, first loss in 8 years.
Sadly though the male bird popped his clogs a few weeks ago. Old age and exhaustion probably.
