  • I went to visit my Laydees yesterday, and found carnage. I now have a pen full of fatteners, two Ganders, and one bewildered ex Bat, who must have been in the nest box when the Fox visited. How it got through the fence, I do not know. Corpses everywhere - what a bloody waste.

        • Do you have anyone local who can deal with the fox? [yes, yes I know before I get hounded upon!!]

          • No one is interested, Chris. You can sometimes get folk to dispose of Pigeons and Waaabits, because people want them for food, but Foxes are just too pretty and puppydog-like, and it's spring, so they have babies to feed, and not many folk will shoot something that is looking after its young. To be honest, I wouldn't either.

            • So sorry to hear it. If it's any consolation (and it won't be I know) a friend of mine lost 56 in one day to the fox.

                Would you like some eggs if I find out ours are fertile? I'd post them to you - they'll be a right hybrid bunch!

                  • the chicken whisperer!!

                    G4, you replaced your birds yet- got loads of hatching eggs sat on the side here if you have an incubator! All yours for the price of postage. Not much consolation though, is it?

                      I could not live without a garden, it is my place to unwind and recover, to marvel at the power of all growing things, even weeds!
