Not the nicest weather, but it does make for great photos 😁
Hope your back will be better soon.
Also... maybe this just shows how little I know.... but I thought all foxes were the orange kind, so that's pretty awesome. 🏹👻

Indeed! That kind of gloomy weather is definitely good for the photo potential. I almost forgot to take one for the day and am glad that I got it when I did because it got very dark outside not long afterwards.
My back is feeling somewhat better today but with all the damp and cold weather everything is feeling a bit achy.
I did not know a whole lot about foxes before moving here and have learned quite a few things about them since doing so. I knew that there were other kinds than the red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) which I have encountered a lot of... but to the best of my recollection the gray foxes (Urocyon cinereoargenteus) I had never encountered in the wild.
They have been super cool neighbors (as far as foxes go) because they have adapted themselves to using domestic dogs to keep them safe from coyotes which are invasive to the southeast US. I see them, their skat and their dens very nearby... but like I said they leave the chickens alone.
Yeah, I remember the coyotes from the videos you sent! They seem a little bit scary, luckily the dogs are there to keep them away.
The foxes are probably clever enough to know that it isn't a good idea to mess with the chickens.... but that's just a guess.
My brother used to live on a farm, I know they always had a lot of issues with foxes attacking the chickens. That's pretty much all I know about them 😅
Yeah, those coyotes in the videos were I think a bit pissed that I took over their den by moving into that shack. I do not show it in the videos but when I first got there the big room was full of trash and in the center of it they had created a big bowl shape from bedding down in there. It took me a while to figure it all out but eventually I did!
I agree and think the foxes leave the chickens alone because they are clever enough to know it would be a bad idea. 🤠☕👻
😅 I would have been more than a little bit worried about them trying to come and attack me or something. 😶
Animals are awesome! Clever little buggers 🥰
Ha! Well, I was worried about them getting one of the dogs but I do not think that I was ever really worried about them attacking me. It just is not their style. I was also way more concerned about the two legged critters!
Yes they are! 🤠
