What do you reckon .......

A field full of lambs have only the ewe to protest their baby but two foxes can sort that out easily, especially if the poor ol' ewe is trying to protect a double. A pen full of chickens is a dream t

Seen plenty of foxes 'in action' after rabbits, when I've been setting traps in the burrows... When they strike a rabbit, they are incredibly fast,..usually the rabbit panics and just gets snapped u

as has already been said foxes deffinatly take new born lambs, seen it myself when i worked on a farm as a young lad. personally i dont think they have any noticable impact on rabbit numbers.

 

i know to a fox that got into a laying shed with 6000 hens he had got to have been in there at least all night by the time he was discovered. and the fecker never even killed a chicken why that was i will never know.

When they strike a rabbit, they are incredibly fast,..usually the rabbit panics and just gets snapped up, real quick...

It's amazing to watch... :yes:

However,..on a place with a lot of rabbits, I don't think foxes make much of a dent in the population.

 

I am always reminded of the old Poacher's saying,..." A Stoat kills a lot he doesn't eat and a Fox eats a lot, he doesn't kill"... :thumbs:
