Cheers. yep been cold over most UK last week, getting bit warmer mid next week, you ever get any probc charts, with foxes or cats after your birds.? my brother used to keep chickens, ducks, and couple turkeys , the foxes took few chickens, so asked me to go over days with my gun and catch them , went for a week all different times , but never seen a fox, but did catch big feral tom cat who was after fowl the one day, my 1/4 pit 3/4 grey got him, was big smelly thing lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've raised the height of the pen and made it as Fox proof as possible. Im a stoical bloke, a fox gotta eat as well, but I wish they wouldn't massacre the lot ! Still, I get a bit sport killing them with the dogs, so fair do's, I suppose. Cheers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
