Not if they have been dead for more than a little while. Meat starts to decompose not long after it dies.

So you didn't want the fox to eat chicken to feed his family but you are prepared to eat a chicken the fox has killed for you? Have I understood your question correctly?
Were your chickens not looked up? You can eat the bodies but personally I wouldnt like to after the fox has killed them. Depending on where you live in the world, some foxes have rabies.
Foxes might be bad and kill your chickens, but your real enemy is MAN!

I'm sure you still can BUT how long have they been dead? It also matters if the fox has some sort of disease like rabies.

Just to safe I wouldn't advise it. First of all you don't know how long they were laying there dead. Second, the fox might be a carrier of some type of disease.

I believe that if you dress them right away they will be ok to eat but truthfully they will most likely be too tough to eat because of the trauma and stress they went through prior to death. Best to try to dress them before rigamortis sets in. Good luck

no..i wouldn't. the fox could have had rabies and given it to the chickens(especially if he got scratched or pecked by the chickens and his blood got to them).
i would rather be safe than sorry!

I don't see why not. Just cook it well done so there's no pink or blood juices left in it. Make some corn bread and black-eyed peas to go with the, darlin'!

Of course you can. Fox bites aren't poisonous.

My only concern would be if the fox had Rabies....Wouldn't take the chance........

just hope the fox didn't have rabies or is carrying any other disease.
