I bought from them on your advice Nicos. My neighbour has seen the foxes in her garden and has a problem with them digging up her garden every night at the moment. They obviously know my girls are here, so hopefully the fence is doing it's job and will continue to do so.

Thankyou for the link for the fencing!!!

I'm sorry to hear about Violette and I understand how bad you feel. My 3 dogs killed Clarry Cluck 2 and a half weeks after I brought her home. I hadn't latched the gate properly and the dogs got into the main garden where the chooks were ranging.

As if that wasn't bad enough, I forgot to latch it again a few weeks later and Teddy Jack Russell caught hold of Myrtle, dropped her when I grabbed him, got away from me and caught Myrtle again. I rammed my hand into his mouth so he had to drop her. I was lucky this time, she wasn't hurt.

I had always hoped the dogs would be 'big brothers' to the hens. It was obvious from Day 1 that this was not going to happen
