Default Fox coming in for chickens.

Howdy, I awoke this morning to a fox trying to get at my chickens. Long story short I had a loaded sig 45 but missed! I am wondering what sort of proactive hunting tactics could be used to get this varmint. I dont really feel like sitting up every night waiting untill he comes back; you know he will be back though. This happened right about sunrise here 7am or so, do you think he'll try again today? Besides the .45 (which I dont think I'll be using again for this hunt) I own a .44 mag 7.5" with scope, 12 gauge shot gun, and .270 Tikka. Out of these which weapon would best to kill? He has to come up to within 20 feet of the house to get the chickens so the shot should'nt have to be to long. Also we are getting coyotes awefully thick in here can I use a call to bring in both varmits? Thankyou.
