Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy has reportedly installed a steel ring around his £2.5m mansion in order to defend it from foxes.
The property is said to have come under attack from the scavengers, forcing the England international into action to protect the chickens he has on his land.
According to The Star, an impregnable hen house and wire has been set up to keep the foxes away after Vardy grew concerned about the well-being of his chickens, which he keeps to produce free-range eggs.
One local is quoted by the tabloid as saying: "The foxes are a menace and they kill for fun. Once one gets into a hen house it is game over for the birds.
"I once lost 12 in a night. It was a case of 'Hens 0 Fox 12.' They will keep coming back to the same area until they find a weakness in the defence and then they'll pounce."
Vardy has netted six goals in his last seven Premier League appearances for Leicester, nicknamed the Foxes, to ease their relegation concerns.
