Tables turned: chickens killed a fox in France

An unusual incident occurred on a farm in the French province of Brittany. Chickens killed a fox. The fox climbed into a chicken coop, which contained 3 thousand birds. An automatic door closed and the fox was trapped inside, writes “Agro-Center”.

The poor animal wasn’t prepared for the attack, panicked and didn’t manage to fight back, reported the French edition “Quest-france”.

The body of the six-month-old fox with traces of bites on the neck and head was discovered the next day by farm workers. According to Daniel Pascal, the head of the Gros-Chêne, the birds were overcome by a herd instinct and united against the fox.

said Daniel Pascal.

The poultry farms is a home for six thousand birds, that are spending time outside during the day. To do this, the farm allocated 2.4 hectares of pasture.
