Solana Just Survived a Fox Attack! 🦊 🦆 The Story of a Lucky Duck
Solana just survived a fox attack! 🦊
Here’s the story:
For the past few weeks, I’ve been free-ranging my flock, letting them roam the area grazing and eating bugs throughout the yard. That of course, comes with a risk. There are lots of foxes, coywolves, bobcats and raccoons around that would love to have a duck snack.
About 20 minutes ago, I was sitting at my computer when I heard commotion outside. I look out the window and see a big, healthy fox standing beside the ducks.
I yelled “HEY MOTHER FUCKER” as loud as I could out of the window… The fox looked up at me, and then looked back at the ducks and went for a swipe. I thought to grab my gun and take a quick shot out the window, but with all of the ducks in the vicinity, there was a big risk of friendly fire.
Instead, I ran as fast as I could out of the house, full speed towards the fox, who at that point had Solana in it’s mouth and began to run off. I chased it a good 50 yards through the forest, getting ripped apart by prickers, but I wasn’t going to let it get away.
I could see Solana flailing as the fox was running off with her in its mouth… Luckily she managed to break free as I was on the chase. Surprisingly without any external wounds.
The lucky duck seems to be in good shape, just a little frightened 🦆
Although Solana didn’t need it today, if you own a poultry flock, it’s always good to have Theracyn on hand!
