It means that someone has been put in charge of something that is too tempting for them to ignore, as if they were a fox (who eats chickens) given the job of protecting the chickens. Not only will they do a poor job, but they will cause harm themselves - perhaps more than would be caused if they had not been put in charge.
If you don't want dead chickens, then DON'T put a fox in the hen house!
means its done, whatever task alluded to has been completed. Say ur boss asks u do something, afterwards u email her "the fox is in the hole"
The fox is a sly old creature.
The fox, the fox can take the hen, the hen can take the corn?
1. Bring across the fox and corn. 2. Return with the fox. 3. This time bring the hen across. 4. Return with the corn and collect the fox. 5. Bring the corn and fox across.
Take the hen across first. Go back alone. Take the fox. Take the hen back. Get the food and leave the hen. Go back alone. Take the hen.
no but they would steal a hen.
1- take the hen over to the other-side. 2- get the fox and take it over to where the hen is but take the hen back with you. 3- take the corn over to the fox. 4-then take the hen over and they will all be on the other-side of the river. hope this helps from i-luv-my-chickens
They sit in the hen house on eggs, on the roost or in a nest.
