However, when a fox breaks into a hen house it is surrounded by easily caught prey. Its normal behaviour, and a good survival strategy is to kill all prey available and try to cache it. Given the option, the fox will come back for the remaining corpses and cache them.

Foxes are a pest no matter what way you try and paint it, and no its not actually a good survival strategy, considering I'm going to find the fecker and shoot it in the noggin after it does that.
