how can i keep predators away from my chicken coop?

Question

just today i saw a fox patrolling my chicken coop. i scared it away but i am afraid it will come back. how do i protect my chickens?

Answer 1

put an electric fence around the chicken coop.If the fox is able to jump over it get a big dog.Or else put the chicken coop in a higher area.

Answer 2

a border collie
some guineas may help-they make so much noise they scare away a lot of things, but probabaly not a fox
you could shoot or trap the fox and move it to a new home

Answer 3

put a high fence around it with barbed wire and maybe put an off-putting scent around the fence to keep the fox away
