You're very lucky it just took the one, my brother in law has a chicken shed a Fox got in and bit the heads off 40 hens, he wasn't very happy either.

This time of year it probably has young to feed so is willing to take risks. They can be needlessly destructive though. A friend of mine had similar trouble to you so when he heard a commotion in the middle of the night grabbed his gun and raced down stairs stark naked, threw open the front door and on seeing the offender nip past let him have both barrels. Once the roar of the discharge had died away he went to inspect the deceased fox which was when his wife reminded him that he'd parked his brand new skoda behind the hedge.

Still got him before he got any chickens
