lovehipr,

that has to be one of the strangest offerings, which I've yet to read, on this forum! :D

we are trying our best! We are already fenced behind our 12ft conifers which are on 3 sides! (my neighbour just lets her birds wander all over the road and our fields!) I could hook our wire fence up to it up to my car battery but I’m sure it will earth out??? I have got my son to spend the weekend weeing around the fence as that’s meant to help deter them, LOL!

You need to get some electric poultry fencing. It is mesh fencing and is easy to move. It is around £90 new, or £45 second hand on ebay for 50 metres. You will also need an energiser, earth stake and battery. It is very effective at keeping foxes out so long as your poultry are not high flyers and fly over it!

No animal deserves such a vile death JM, very surprised at you. So effective is creosote though,a fox will never go past it under any circumstances.Times are hard for vixens right now, here at least it has been bone dry for two months,so slugs ,worms and so forth are not available.There will be quite a few starving young badgers and foxes.
As a hunting person my rule is that the alternative controls are both horrific and unselective,not to be contemplated.Plus ,at this time of year cubs will starve if deprived of their mother,unless of course you terrier the resident earth.
Currently ,every evening I see a little vixen hunting mice in the hay field,her cubs are somewhere nearby ,and she is safe if no one knows.

I cried this Easter when the keeper shot a sucked vixen in a snare.
Unless you know how to use one, they are vile things, especially if they are not set or fastened properly.
I don't have a problem with snaring foxes for poultry or shooting if it is your livelihood, although I believe it is a lot less humane than a pack of hounds- a snare does not only catch the sick and the weak, unfortunately. Snaring a fox to me is just a bloody big waste.
