Well we have just lost all our geese (gander, 3 females and a gosling) to a fox over the course of two nights.
We have 6 castlemilk ewes and 6 lambs out, the youngest are about a month old the oldest just coming up to 2 months. One of the mum's of the youngest has twins and isn't great on keeping an eye on them.
What do I need to do/can I do to protect them? We have a polytunnel we can bring them into at night, but I'm not sure it's secure enough (gap between bottom of polytunnel and ground). How long do we need to offer extra protection?
Been here two years now and never had any problems with foxes, neither had the guy across the road we got the geese from. Guessing it's a vixen with demanding cubs to feed. Will she move on or is this now a recurring problem?
Thanks
