Dude leads the charge

A family in Basildon, Essex, discovered at the weekend that Dude the cockerel had lead his brood of 3 hens into a frenzied attack on a fox intruder, and won! It would appear that a small table inside the coop was knocked over and hit the fox on the head, knocking him unconscious which enabled the chickens to peck him to death. I hope that in the future foxy visitors will stay clear of Dude and his girls.
