We had one stick its head in a rat trap, it was half dead so my husband wrung its neck (used to be a gamekeeper so he is used to dispatching animals quickly) and put it under the hedge to be fed to the dogs later. Imagine our surprise when we saw that hen walking round later! it wasn't right for a long time but made a full recovery. We called her Lazarus.<br /><br />Take care of the others, foxes are nasty animals and will keep coming back for more - even in broad daylight.shariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08899435247762808267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6141256657077347979.post-8241658816305438682010-08-18T12:04:23.319+01:002010-08-18T12:04:23.319+01:00How awful.

Our hen run is like chicken Colditz but the foxes seem to find their way around even the best security. Apparently (so I have heard) a good way to ward off foxes is to let men piddle (trying to think of a polite way of saying it) around the run and the scent wards off the fox!! Hope the girlies recover.<br />Love the cushion, by the way, lovely, I wish I could crochet.<br />Jo xxHesta Nestahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03260523918707092137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6141256657077347979.post-8215340717561201662010-08-17T22:00:17.948+01:002010-08-17T22:00:17.948+01:00SO sorry to hear about your chickens!
