A Greedy Fox

A greedy red fox got one of my chickens on Saturday.  The fox must have been watching us because as soon as we left on an errand it nabbed a chicken.  After we were home and noticed the piles of feathers but before we could put the chickens in the coop the greedy fox tried to nab another chicken.  I yelled at the fox to put the chicken down and he did.  She hid in the tall grasses for a few hours but she is alive and thriving.  My chickens will stay in the coop for the next few weeks until this fox decides to move on.  I hope the chicken's death was swift, the poor thing.
