Not really in the hen house since our chickens are free range, but we have a fox problem. Over the last few weeks, we noticed something has been getting our chickens. My daughter swore she saw a fox a few weeks ago, but I didn't believe her. Figured it was a cat or something. Well yesterday I saw the little bugger. He was on the edge of the grass on the backside of the barn. I was actually able to walk up pretty close to it before it ran off. I think it may have been a young one. A little later, another fox ran across my pasture while I was bush hogging. This one seemed bigger. Thinking I may have a den close by. I am on guard now and bring a gun with me to the barn. However, I can't be out there all the time. Wondering if anyone has had any luck with sprays or any other commercial deterrents. I turned the radio on in the barn hoping the noise may help, but I suspect they will learn eventually it's not a threat. Any other ideas are appreciated.
