That's an urban fox that's been illegally released into the countryside Moleskins. No fear of humans at all.

Not much fear of dogs either it seemed!

A rifle or a sight hound is the only cure for him. How fat and sleek he is!!!

very clear that he knows no fear of people and little of the dog. Even has the cheek to mark the area as his. Means to have the chickens. Hope you get him before he wipes out your birds.

The advantage of the fox with no fear is that he doesn't know he's going to be shot so he exposes himself to the hunter! The mystery of our killer is that her den is really quite close to the gamekeeper's house - so the wtf has he been doing for the past three years. He is a man of few words, mostly containing the word "off"

I've seen it recommended to put a wire around the chicken fence at about 9" high and a yard out from the fence - the point from where the fox would launch from to jump the fence. Only snag I can see is a 9" electric trip wire around the pen!
