Good to see that The Express knows lots about chickens. The caption under the photo says Cockerel Dude get the hero treatment from her owner

I expect the fox was killed in the back of a Merc, by the Duke of Edinburgh. |

Indeed. One of my hens chased a fox off once and I've also found a dead fox in the garden but I doubt a couple of hens and a cockerel could do much harm to a healthy fox. I hope no one thinks that their poultry would stand much of a chance against a fox. | ||

They threw a table at it and then pecked it to death. It must be true as it's in the Daily Express. |

Well, if the fox was stunned, then trapped by a table toppled by panicking chickens it would explain it.
I've certainly seen chickens turn viciously on a rat running through - so a fox trapped under a table. Maybe. |

I was being ironic or sarcastic. More than likely it's a windup or stunt. |

The only way a chicken could kill a fox is if it was laced with strychnine.

I quite like the fact that the Express felt the need to include the picture of a fox, just in case like. | ||

And it wasn't dead. | ||

I guess it could be possible if the chickens had help from a friend !
