Chickens?

[peds]

Good news! The fox trap I borrowed off a friend works.

 

I caught a brown dog called Baldric, out for his morning piss. He made sure to eat the chicken leg the trap was baited with before he started yelping for help though.

I’ve had a pheasant, Jay, one of my cats before. Only had one fox, rest are too clever unfortunately ☹️

That's what I'm worried about... I made a janky bodge job trap out of a pallet box, sound theory and it would have worked, but very home-made looking... and foxy took the bait from outside, not inside... probably smelled too much of me.

 

Good job catching the pheasant though, hope it was treated well!

Oh yes, let it go free 👍

was very surprised as we are in the suburbs, over a mile to open countryside. Mind you we had a few partridges in the road, two mallards sitting on front door mat and a muntjac in the garden which is fenced in all round, 6ft high!

Oh, I meant a blanket of bacon and a glass of red wine, but your treatment sounds a lot kinder. 

 

I'm hoping to add pheasants to the flock one day, to fatten them up properly... instead of chewing on the wiry feral birds.

Let's try it again, dogs firmly instructed not to be idiots.
