Wisconsin "Cheeseheads"

[bigzio]

I was lucky enough to save my hens from a red fox yesterday afternoon around 5pm. Heard the commotion and screamed hey, hey, hey, at the fox about 30 yards away. Feathers everywhere, but my large hens were more than a mouthful for the fox. I'm sure if I wasn't around, he would have kept trying until he had a meal for the pups. The flock was a tight group the rest of the day until lockup.

Stay Safe ...bigz

I think that you hit the nail on the head.
Guinea fowl looks exactly like the feathers. I'll have to check with a neighbor up the road and see if they have any or lost any.
It's beyond amazing why they don't eat my chickens. I let them all out in the yard everyday and the den is easily within 50 yd. And they have been there for at least a year that I know of.
However, they are locked up tight as a drum for the night.

Well hopefully the fox will keep thier food supply some place else. maybe better the fox just eats Guinea fowl, maybe they taste better than chicken?
