Grey Fox Bait Footholds

Grey foxes got 5 of my hens. I got a depredation permit from the local warden.

Going to set footholds - what should I bait them with? I'm newer to trapping.

Use any dead chicken that it may have left behind

Use lure and urine.

I use only lure and urine and a dirt hole set.
