A quote from my uncle. "I don't mind the fox living here, it helps keep the rat population down. If it kills one of my chickens I'll kill it."My first experience with a fox, a year ago, was in the middle of the day. I heard a ruckus just outside my door and went to investigate. There was a fox right on top of one of my ducks! I chased it away and no one was hurt, not even the victim. Took me a while to gather them all back up as they were understandably frazzled. It must have been a very young fox.
Just a few days later, I was letting them out of their pen to forage in the morning, and I assume it was the same fox waited until they were all out then jumped out of the tall grass RIGHT NEXT TO ME and grabbed one of the juveniles! It ran back to the forest and I chased it (screaming obscenities) hoping it would drop the duck but no such luck.
I'm terrified of letting them out now.
