There are loads of foxes in the countryside, but they find the pickings easier in the towns, foxes always will take the food that is easy to get. However, even in the countryside they are getting much bolder. Once upon a time they only came out in the evenings. It's now quite common to see them during the day. We see them all the time around out place.. Foxes ,the main reason we stopped keeping chicken, ducks, geese and peacocks, lost too many, too much upset and heartache. A friend of ours who lived across from a Piggery watched a fox coming out of the Piggery with a baby pig in it's mouth. He told the owner who had inadvertantly left the door open.
