Nope, plenty of sheep around me though and I never heard of a fox attacking them or the lambs. My grandmother used keep fowl here when I was a young lad 30 years ago now and the odd hen used vanish alright but usually they were always locked up in the hen house at night. Twas our own laziness not bothering to close the door at night resulted in the odd casualty. A mink killed the whole lot of them in a single night and that was the end of the fowl here.You dont have sheep so
