Morning all our chickens free range at the bottom of our garden and mid afternoon One by one they have gone missing assuming a fox as they've not returned and large field next door with long grass (rural area) ..last girl hasn't returned so want to get some more..however I don't know what to do about the fox?! Should I wait a few months so the fox goes else where? What ways can I attempt to keep the foxes out? Such a shame they were so tame

We're they locked up on a night? Surely the only way you can guarantee their safety is by having a fox-proof run?!

If you get more they'll all get taken again. Why risk that? They need to be in a run.
