I should clarify: It is just chain link around the run area. The chickens are locked in at night and I don't think anything can get into the coop where they sleep. It's a solid shed with a concrete block for a door.
I'm starting to think squirrel. I'm not absolutely positive it went by at night. My chickens aren't that interested in leaving their comfy coop until it starts to warm up, so I haven't been in that big of a hurry to get down there in the morning.
Anyway, squirrels seem to run with the front...
Found these tracks in the snow near the coop. Our first physical evidence of nighttime visitors. He seems to be just passing through, since he just went along one fence and then on toward the hedge at the property line. But if he's a predator, I'm sure he'll be back. Any ideas what he is?
