Fox Carries Five Chickens Over 
Its Back 
DEAR FOREST AND STREAM: 
A FEW years ago as I was returning 
home through the Newton, N. H.,| | 
woods with my horse and dog I saw a 
big Red Fox crossing the road about 
800 feet ahead, with a lot of White 
Wyandotte Chickens hanging on his 
neck and back. On my giving a good 
loud Indian war whoop, he dropped his 
plunder and leaped over a stone wall 
and off into the woods. I went on and 
examined his burden and somewhat to 
my surprise I found he had 5 two- 
thirds grown White Wyandotte Roos- 
ters; they were all warm and evidently 
had been just killed. They were taken 
from Charlie Day’s hennery close by, 
as he had a large number of these 
young Roosters. 
I took them home with me to show to 
my acquaintances what kind of a load 
of chickens one lone Fox could capture 
and carry, all at one trip. He had 
them all by the neck in his mouth at 
once. I took them back next day and 
left them just over this wall where I 
saw the Fox last and the next day I 
called over to see if they were there, 
but they had vanished.
