Hi, I got four chickens a few months back and just as they all started laying, a fox got 3 of them. i was gutted, especially as it was my fault, I'd forgotten to put the cover to the run back on in the evening. I got another 3 and have made sure I locked tham back up each evening and they seem to be doing fine. My dog seems to keep the foxes away during the day and both him and my kitten get on great with the chickens. They are brilliant and really funny so yes I think everyone should get some!
