Not So Cute and Cuddly As You Think

Not Sure how many of you have been watching the TV programme about Urban Foxes but believe me it paints the fox as a cute and cuddly animal, sadly this week we found out to our cost just how wrong that image is.

This was Friday evening and Linda and Merve treat the chickens to a bit of TLC, having had the chickens for around a year they were hand tame and a big part of our daily life, the eggs are also fantastic quality and with 4 being laid most days we sure had plenty.

Sadly the local cute and cuddly fox somehow got into the chicken house on friday night and killed three out of the four of our girls

All you Fox fans take a close look 2 of the girls had their heads ripped off and the other a broken neck, the garden looked like the killing fields, believe me the fox would have his head ripped off if I got my hands on him, the gun is loaded and ready for him.
