A young fox, probably about 6 mounts old, got into a chicken coop or hen house at a farm school in Brittany, in northwestern France.
And that’s when Charles Darwin takes over.
This coop held 3,000 hens. “As soon as the sun set and the light-controlled, automatic hatch door closed behind the fox, the birds channeled their inner Tyrannosaurus rex and attacked the fox.”
Chicks can be fiery. And this time, they attacked to fox, leaving him dead. The last time a fox got into the coop, the chickens were not so successful.
This is how Darwinian just so stories have become mainstream.
