Great pictures, Noble Knight! Thanks for the link. I also have a soft spot for foxes. As Tobi says, they have a right to eat, just as we do. Foxes are carnivores and only kill to eat. Sometimes they may kill more than they need, in the excitement of finding food. But it not killing for pure fun. That is mainly the preserve of humans.
My neighbour in France does exactly as Tobi says. The chickens are put in a coop for their safety at night, and during the day they are in a fenced area. This is regarded as normal practice, to protect them from foxes. But there is no need to kill the foxes; they will just go to hunt somewhere else.
