  • On foxes:

    My folks had chickens in the garden, in a coop with no door, and never had any problems with foxes.
    The 200+ kg angry pig may have had something to do with that, though.
    tl;dr you need a giant pig.

  • Like!

    My run has been fox probed at least ten times, all in the first two months or so.

    If you don’t have the option of a sturdy mesh floor then dig.

    Dig so that you can take at least one thickness of chicken wire a foot down into the earth, then a foot horizontally outwards and then cover back with soil. Reynard will have a few attempts at getting in, and hit wire. After a while they will give up (and teach their cubs that it is a pointless exercise).
