I do not know what a Vittles Vault is but if it is angled so a big
rock would fall off, I would prop the rock up with something so that
it didn't. Or turn the thing upside down, that will stop the
blighters.

Check the link in my first post, it has a photo of the one I'm using.

Flipping it upside down is a possible option.

I would so hate to have a predator with opposable thumbs.
Foxes are bad enough, but my friend Bob in Michigan has had racoons which
opened the bolts on his chicken huts to kill them.
He now padlocks them.
Racoons also reach in with their hands through the wire. If the chickens
panic enough to flap about they can often strangle one.
Racoons look so cute, but there again, so do foxes.


You would love the toy fox that Kayla has. Its a dog toy that looks very
much like the pelt of a real fox. Its a type they call 'skins' as it is
unstuffed. A blessing since Kayla must kill and unstuff any toys she
gets. She love to bring this in and shake it for dear life when I won't
play with her enough.

We saw an adorable family of raccoons when we were camping with the boys
in Florida a few years ago. They had been raiding a dumpster and the
younger coons weren't able to get back up out of it. Many of the campers
just thought they were adorable and happily went to find long sticks to
help them to climb out. Much to the ire and dismay of more than a few of
the other campers who would have been perfectly happy to dispatch them on
the spot if there hadn't been happy small children present.

Coons and foxes look quite nice, don't they? Sort of nice and cute.
No fox is allowed here, ever, since they killed my chickens during the day,
I got a fox trap and got more than 30, cleanly killed by fox man with his
rifle.
Me and foxes do not get on when they kill my chickens. They are so out of
here!

My chickens are now in safe huts and runs. It's a shame that they cannot
roam around freely.
