I saw this in the paper today- though it said the chickens were all rhode island red's, and the cockeral didn't much look like one!

two cocks and two hens. thats asking for trouble. it sounds like the fox was dead and the hens do what they always do and eat dead things. a seagull dropped a small mackeral sized fish into our chicken field you should have seen them run around and tear it to bits. if a starling is injured they will kill and eat it. they look sweet and innocent but they are probably worse than the fox. think of a man sized cockeral would you go into its run.
