A first for The Farm today was spotting a fox sussing out the land. Looks kinda cute at the moment, but I know I won’t be so impressed when we have chickens!
My neighbour’s chicken run is like a Chicken Fort Knox, with a high and low electric fence running all the way round it. He lost some chickens due to foxes, and now he has a shoot-on-sight policy. (The foxes, not the chickens!!)
I did spot another fox recently in the neighbouring field carrying a dead rabbit off, so if we could just train them to eat rabbits (wild ones!) we would be laughing.
In my dreams maybe…
