They are getting brave and coming closer to the house.

No, foxes are not aggressive toward humans. Foxes are timid but also curious. The foxes you are seeing may have been displaced. They hate construction and may think your area is less threatening than the one they came from. Make sure you don't have a feeding station, such as an open garbage can around. We had a fox family in our yard recently. Momma, Poppa and 5 kits. We mowed the lawn near their den once too often and they disappeared one night.

Normally a fox will not come near people or homes during the daytime. That could be a sign of a sick or rabid fox. I'd call Animal Protection. If a fox is sick or has rabies, there is really not a safe answer to give you. Call!!!

NO.
carnivorous animals like the foxes just come to ur backyard to smell the dasies....u know hav a break from their hectic jungle life.
yeah...they basically come there to unwind.
if u r really quiet and friendly and offer them a jelly sandwich, they fetch the stick for u.

An animal like a fox normally will not attack, unless they have rabies.

Foxes, I believe are not agressive animals, and will usually run away from people. To be on the safe side, you better talk to the wildlife and fisheries people in your local, and see if they can trap and relocate them. They are carriers of rabies.

no, the biggest animal I've seen them attack is a rabbit or a chicken. chances are, you are much bigger than either of those and have nothing to fear.
if you get nervous when they come near, yell and run at them, they'll get scared and run away.

No, most probably they would be scared and run away. but still bring some weapon with you like a knife,baseball bat,etc just in case they go wild

foxes or coyotes will most likely not attack a human, but they will get your chickens if they can!

normally they don't. But something is causing them to come around. Do you leave open garbage cans? Any small pets??

No, they wont attack unless you threaten their young.
If cornered, they will defend themselves.
Just let them get on with their scavenging, which is what they're doing.
