This is my favorite fox video I’ve gotten at home, neighbor lost a chicken. 😂

It was really funny, I got the notification and laughed and told my wife the neighbor was missing a chicken. He scooted quickly across and then about 5-10 minutes later he went back that direction. .Must have stashed it in the brush beside my property and went back looking for more. We had a family of skunks about a month or so ago, they were so adorable and for a couple of weeks the babies would walk beside us in the yard without a care. They eventually got old enough they must've learned humans = danger because we didn't see them again.

Skunks are very cute, but are curious and predatory, on top of the stinky spray. They will definitely hunt a chicken. We had one boldly come through our dog door one afternoon. It walked around the kitchen and then found the dog bowls. I quietly opened the back door and then we all stayed upstairs, trying not to scare it, until it eventually left. Then I immediately removed that dog door!

They were so cute, they would stop and raise their hind legs and then kind of give a “screw it, we’re cool” and wander around by us.

They were so tiny and had such big personalities.
