Scat found in Run. ID?

[Nic&Chickies]

Someone please tell me what (predator?) animal left this calling card:

Sorry I didn't have a ruler or quarter for size reference, it is about 2 to 3 inches long, 1/2-inch? wide.
I saw it near the bottom of the ramp from the (closed) pop door to the run.
I also realized that when I closed the girls in last night (got back after dark--scary thoughts

) I didn't close the outer (people) door to the run. This all reminds me that we have to finish closing in our recently-enlarged run, for those just-in-case times we aren't right there to secure them at night, or next winter, when they can't go out in the snow (I know, hard to think about, just coming out of this heat wave)

I think coyote but I'm certainly not a scat expert. Here's a chart that might help.
