Default Chickens killing my garden

You were lucky that you got them back, if any of mine were out overnight

if foxes are such a nuisance in France as they are here though, they didn't
seem to be in Germany.


I plan to keep some chickens here in Normandy sooner or later, but my
French neighbour thinks I will lose them. Seems he kept some at one time
but foxes broke into his barn and killed the lot. I get the impression
they were very clever and determined to get to them in what he thought
was a secure place. We are surrounded by miles and miles of open
countryside and forests here, so lots of wildlife.
