My Mum got up at about 5am this morning and saw a fox in the garden. It wasn't near the hen house but was sniffing around in her garden. She'd found a kipper there yesterday and it's possible it had come back to look for it.
She knocked on the window but it just looked at her and when it went to go into my garden she opened the window and clapped her hands and it just ran off.
So, they know there are chickens in the neighbourhood - I shall have to be extra careful when the girls are out now. I think(hope) they are secure in the house - it has padlocks on the doors and has paving slabs and bricks all around it so I don't think a fox could dig under, but just to be sure, once I've finished building the run I shall have to move the house and put slabs under it too. It will also make it easier to clean too.
2 eggs today!
I gave the wooden frames a coat of wood preservative while the girls were exploring the garden.
