They are ridiculously cute. My cats are slightly jealous.
Urban foxes, yes. Rats, probably. Snakes, maybe?
I have to say, I've never seen any of the three in our area, but that could be because I wasn't look, and also because I wasn't keeping chooks at the time. That said, the people who used to live two houses down kept chooks (they were apparently a bit 'hippie', and I'm just sorry that they moved out before I could meet them) and nobody complained?
From what I gather, there are ways to keep chooks even in areas where there are known predators - it just involves building solid coops and keeping them maintained.
