Would rather be gardening
Hello all,
We have a fox problem! Our coop is pretty secure and so this fox can’t figure out how to get in. It comes after the sun has risen (about 6:30am), so the chickens are out in the run, but the chickens are too stupid to go back into the roost. Instead they run around and freak out, while the fox paces around the outside of the coop. It doesn’t seem to be digging any holes, and I can’t find signs of it tampering with the coop trying to get in. I’m not opposed to shooting it, but it runs away at the first sign of human activity.
Will this fox keep coming back until it breaks into the coop? I assumed it would give up, but this is the second day now that this has happened. It’s annoying because it wakes the whole house up at 6:30am, and I’m worried that it will eventually find a way into the coop.
