If you are serious about this. Killing them isn't the answer. More will move into the space.

I raise chickens and to deal with fox, I walk my property line with my dog and literally piss it with him. If you find a fox den, literally piss all over it, inside of it. Your goal is to make the space feel and be hostile to the animal. They will take the path of least resistance and move onto easier prey. You are the easy prey at the moment.

I also kept buckets up on posts to shoot with a 22 in the middle of the night to scare them off. I light them up with a flash light and I'd I get one that's persistent, I kill it. Your best bet is literally motion lights and pissing your property. I'm not fucking around, I'm not joking. I haven't had a fox issue in 3 years and I see them over the hill all the time.

Chcikens are free range and I haven't had a loss in 3 years. I've had 2 hawk attacks this year, both hawks young and unsuccessful. Over my years of raising chickens I still am at single digit losses predation.
Unless you count me eating them lol
You can literally do everything I said as a felon. Replace the 22 with a air rifle. You gotta actually give a shit and do a little work.
I was waking up at 3am to meet the foxes for a few weeks to make their lives uncomfortable.
