Only the mink, who is semiaqautic, has webbed toes.Kill it if you catch it.
Did it get them in a coop, or.....??
If so, tighten up your coop security.
Same family, yep...do other weasels have webbing too, or just mink?

Sorry to hear that. You're doing pretty much everything I did. Though the one thing different is that mine was actually living under the hen house. So I was able to put one of the live traps right in front of the hole he had dug.Hi Tuhmu, I'm also in ND and currently having trouble with a mink. although it left my silkies alone (they free range the barn) it took out 90% of my guineas (all roosters) 9 of them in one night. I currently set up 3 live traps using them as bait. any other suggestions?

I'm not sure if that's a common thing for a mink/weasel (or whatever it is)...to move in like that? Maybe you could see if you see any tracks in the snow, to find out where he comes/goes from and then set one in line with that.
Not that I can recall, not a major problem anyway.Out of curiosity, PRIOR to the mink moving in, did you have any issues with mice or rats that you know of?

I had a mink kill one of my hens this spring, used her as bait in a havahart trap and the mink was in there next morning, i put the barrel of my 22 in the cage and he bit it so i squeezed the trigger, problem solved but they are vicious.
