Not considering my travails with BT sufficient, Fate had another chainsaw to throw in the washing machine this afternoon…
I was sitting at my desk when I heard a kerfuffle from the chickens. I looked out of the window to see what excitement was occurring, but it wasn’t clear so I wandered outside. To find the most enormous fox I have ever seen dispatching a cockerel that I was keeping for breeding purposes. In the adjoining run, all but one of our hens were dead 🙁
The fox saw me and without hesitation completely jumped the fence to escape. I’ve never seen that happen before. It’s been a while since we’ve had any kind of fox incursion other than when my son didn’t properly close the gate, but they’ve always got in under the wire rather than jumping it.
I’m going to have to give chicken security some more thought…
