I have had a phone call from a lady asking for help with a fox problem. She says that 3 foxes have been chasing 2 lambs from last year so well grown. She went to chase them off and they have run towards her then chased her staffy dog.
I have never seen anything like this I am thinking they must be released rescues that are hungry.
Anyone ever seen owt like it I will be going over when I get a spare minute.

Usually any fox that comes towards me doesn't get away again....

Never seen anything similar but suspect that you are probably right with the ‘rescue’ theory? Make them easier to sort though!

Some years ago I was contacted by a local farmer who thought a dog fox was attacking some well grown Suffolk lambs.
First night I shot 2 vixens and then few nights later 2 dog fox's and problem stopped.
So if they get the taste they will attempt to take big lambs.
Suggest you get over there observe and take appropriate action.
