Foxed again: Seeking a permanent fix after losing another favorite hen
Losing a second favorite hen in one year hits different, that's not just fowl play, that's heartbreak with feathers. I feel for you, and I respect that you're eyeing the cordless hole puncher solution, but let's talk about something that actually keeps the flock intact. Permanent deterrence is tricky because foxes are clever little opportunists, but they're also creatures of habit. Electric netting has saved more than a few of my feathered friends, and motion-activated lights or sprinklers can throw off their midnight sneak attacks. If removal is on the table, that's a decision only you can make, but securing the coop first might save you the trouble.
