Dog killing chickens? (not mine thankfully!)

Sorry Aunty "someone has posted you may want to review your post and so on......................

i don't know Aunty, i've thought of nothing else since Hurley was taken, it was worse than we thought, when we did a head count in the stables there were only 18 ex barns out of 25, none of the identifyable ones have gone so we didn't know straight away (they are hard to count) everyone else is present and correct,  i don't know whether to try and keep the fox out or the hens in, the chook paddock is a field with 6 hen houses in it, all the groups have there own house and tend to stay together, if i try and make one big pen i feel the groups wouldn't have enough room for their own gangs and the cockerals might fight, if i try and make smaller pens then i don't think they'd have the room their used to and i really don't want to pen them up anyway, i feel so miserable, i know foxes have their place in society i just wish it wasn't here.
