A fox that had stealthily entered a poultry farm in France was killed. The main suspects in the fox's death are the chickens kept at the farm, which banded together to kill it. According to reports from Agence France-Presse, it is believed that after entering the poultry farm, the fox was unable to exit due to the automatic door closing and became trapped inside. The automatic doors of this poultry farm are designed to close at sunset. In this agricultural school, the chickens can spend all day outdoors unless they are sitting on their eggs. This poultry farm is located in an agricultural school in northwestern France, and students found the trapped fox's body the next morning when they went to check on the chickens. The school's director told Agence France-Presse that the chickens, acting on their group instinct, attacked and pecked at the fox. He mentioned that the last time a fox had been involved with this poultry farm was a year ago, which had a worse outcome for the chickens.
