Do chicken manure pellets attract foxes?

Only if the pellets have feathers on.

I wouldn't buy feathered pellets; they'd fly away ;D !
I've been using the stuff for years in my garden and never had any problems. But a fox would have to pretty determined to get into our garden.  I saw a fox on one of my first visits to the allotment. One of the old guys there said it's best not to use chicken manure because it attracts foxes.

Are foxes particularly destructive, one lives in the brambles at the bottom of my plot, he seems to do no harm.

The chicken pellets may attract the odd fox, but they also seem to like any sort of manure on my plot.

No real harm done, they just dig around a bit.
