The force is strong with the chicken, indeed.

The remains of the fox remind me of roadkill, but of the pecked-to-death sort.

I bet they were EBCs (Epic Bearded Chickens)! :LOL:

If the chickens had been humans, they would have been arrested and prosecuted :D

Maybe the fox was weak due to some illness or something like that?

The little table in the corner of the coop, which the chickens perch on, had been kicked over and was lying next to the fox's head.

It appeared to have fallen on him and knocked him out, leaving him an easy target for the beaks of the chickens.

Weird, but sounds like the perch falling killed it. Poor thing. I used to keep chickens, sold them a while ago but then got given one, a sole survivor from a mink attack.

It's amazing the lengths to which genetically exact entities in nature free from social engineering will go to attack an opposing entity.

Chickens - 1

Somehow, even with all those herbs and spices, Kentucky Fried Fox doesn't have the same appeal.

No, you would have to take it to a Chinese restaurant, after a day in the marinade they could turn it into Kung Pao Chicken. No one would ever Know! :p

BTW, foxes carry rabies!

Actually, it seems to have been "a lucky (for chicken) accident":


She said she had shut the sliding door of the coop when she put the chickens to bed on Friday night, but the fox must have nosed his way under. When she went out on Saturday morning, the door was still shut.

The table falling down could have been part of an elaborate plot hatched by the brood - but was more likely the lucky result of frantic squawking,flapping and running about.

Edit: Third who mentioned it ;)

Only bats carry rabbies in Britain apparently, most other animals are free from.
