In my opinion it is hogwash!!
I have had many dealings with Fox in my work as a urban pest controller, a hunter (not with a pack of hounds) and rescued many fox from various places, including fox that has become trapped in homes, this does not ring true that a fox attacked these babies!!!!
Humans are not a game that Charlie likes to play!
However it is possible!!

Two baby twin sisters are seriously ill in hospital after apparently being attacked by a fox while sleeping in their cots in east London.
A family member called police at 10pm on Saturday night
Officers and paramedics were called to the house in Homerton after reports that the nine-month-old babies had been attacked by the animal in an upstairs bedroom on Saturday night.
They both reportedly suffered arm wounds and one of the girls was believed to have facial injuries.
The little girls are being treated at the Royal London Hospital, where they are said to be in a "serious but stable" condition.
A Scotland Yard spokesman said: "The incident is not being treated as suspicious.
"We were called to reports of a fox attack. Officers and the ambulance found two girls with injuries."
In 2002, mother Sue Eastwood claimed her baby boy, Louis, was left injured after a fox crept into their house while she slept.
The fourteen-week-old suffered bite marks on his head after the animal darted into the sitting room of the house in Dartford, Kent.
The only previously recorded fox attack on a human in an urban area in the UK was when pensioner Margaret O’Shaughnessy was mauled in Edinburgh in 2004.
The 88-year-old was left with a three-inch bite mark on her leg when she went into her garden late at night to feed her pet cat.

just going back to any's comment that it is an urban myth that a fox 'kills for fun', before it was an urban myth, in the 1930s in fact, my mum walked into a hen hut on her dad's farm, an isolated dairy farm high up in the penines at Blackshaw Royd. A fox had been in in the night, slaughtered the hens, only taken a couple. The fox hadn't been disturbed at all, there was noone close enough to disturb the animal. Mum learnt at an early age the damage a fox could do, farmers hate foxes if they have hens. It's not an urban myth that they hate them and it's not an urban myth that foxes will kill for fun, it's the wording used, Mum used to say foxes kill everything because they can. Is that a rural myth?
Judging by the African animal head trophies on some walls we must be consistent and say that humans only purpose is to kill then.
A fox attacking a human is a rare event. If one went upstairs and attacked babies that must be unique. One can not reasonably judge a species on the activity of one individual on one occasion.
Nature is raw in tooth and nail, as someone once said. Unfortunate things do happen. It is not an excuse for us to act badly.

Amazing how, one can attribute human failings to other species. How does one know the fox thought it fun to kill more than it chose to eat afterwards ? Maybe it has evolved to turn all prey it has around it into food whether it wants it to eat all at that time or not. Seem more likely to me it silences the squawking prey, then chooses what it wants. It is the responsibility of the poultry's owner to ensure they are secure.
