OH is gutted....he forgot to lock their pophole. Our house is sad/cross/guilty and bereft today.  We KNOW there is a fox that visits on the off chance the restaurant is open!!! Then hand him my little family on a plate  :(

Tell him not to berate himself too much.  I know how he must feel though, but none of us are perfect!

What a shame though, such lovely birds! :(

So sorry for you.  My OH says I don't need to shut the girls in at night as they are in a fixed run and have an electric wire round the base.  I still insist on shutting them in as I know we have foxes around.   :(

Note to EVERYONE..
......do not underestimate Mr Foxy. Lock up your feathered family EVERY night, wishing you had done is just too late. I still cant believe they are gone  :(

Im so sorry for your loss, foxy visited us around 4 in the afternoon on two consecutive Saturdays, we lost 6 chooks and a cockerel (we'd raised him from an egg, so losing him was so very sad). Just shows that they will strike at any time. Ill be out there tomorrow afternoon, keeping an eye on my remaining babies, caged in as they are now!
