JohnfromUK Posted May 5, 2021 Report Share Posted May 5, 2021 Jeremy Clarkson has posted; "A fox has just killed 34 of my hens." I think many of us have seen the damage foxes do, but a high profile figure highlighting it is a bit unusual Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twenty Posted May 5, 2021 Report Share Posted May 5, 2021 He will deal with the culprit himself, it is not the first time he has lost poultry to charlie, and as old'un said, he's a shooting man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted May 5, 2021 Report Share Posted May 5, 2021 He often quite publicly declares his enjoyment of shooting and hatred of all things ‘anti’, and ‘shooting pheasants in the face’. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalkedUp Posted May 5, 2021 Report Share Posted May 5, 2021 At this time of year a fox will do almost anything to get to a food source such as chickens. You can protect them as much as you want but unless the chickens are going to be caged indoors if there is a den nearby then there will always be foxes trying to dig/climb/chew their way in.

oldypigeonpopper Posted May 5, 2021 Report Share Posted May 5, 2021 Hello, you do wonder how many chickens are killed/ taken by foxes all over the UK in a year, must be 1000s , years ago a farmer I knew lost most of his prized chickens, the few left did not deter another visit but I found the run along a ditch and waited perched on a large bough just high enough to be out of sight, sure enough it came along and armed my AYA No 3 with heavy fives got both barrels, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

12gauge82 Posted May 6, 2021 Report Share Posted May 6, 2021 I really admire foxes in the right circumstances, but in situations like this I have shot many. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
