Thanks!

Ok yeah I just checked it doesn’t have any vitamin b. So once we get the vitamin b, do we give it to it orally? Or do you actually mean an injection?

Ok thanks! Would nutri drench help? We have some of that.

Ok is that specifically for wry neck or just ducklings in general?

Could you call your local game commission to help relocate them?

I would think securing the coop up would be your best course of action, more so than killing the foxes. If the coop isn't secure foxes won't be your only problem. If the chickens have a safe home you won't need to worry about constantly keeping them away, that's my thinking on it. It's like if...
