A Fox Attacked our Chickens! -- Tips for chicken owners in description & at end

We were very lucky today. A fox boldly attacked during daytime hours. I left the house the moment the fox arrived to walk the dog and returned to see it hopping the fence. Our chickens were safe today because their run is very secure. If you are going to keep hens, you must assume that every predator possible is going to visit you at some point in time (hawks, foxes, coyotes, etc.). Build your run with hardware cloth or, at a minimum, use a double layer of chicken wire. Make sure to bury and extend your wire several feet out away from your run so predators cannot dig under. Everything wants to eat your chickens.
