I'm surprised a fox could take one out. Maybe a coyote or wild dog. They are BIG birds!

My grandmother in SC kept them. When we visited, I remember waking up to the sound of the male screaming, morning doves and bobwhites, and the smell of towering pines.

I have wondered if I could keep a few in with the chickens. We have a huge pen for them.
