Can anyone id these tracks

[Mortos]

Raven, my Black Australorp was eaten by something last night. It's my fault, I didn't secure the coop until late. There was nothing left but feathers 20 feet from the coop. My rooster "Big Daddy" and hen "Olive" were roosting on my porch when I got home instead of the coop. I assume something got inside and riled them up and Raven was the slowest.

Look up racoon tracks...they look similar, but hard to see clear prints in your picture. Its so hard to lose them that way. We have hawks that like our birds and two nested not far away last year.

We lost several. Don't be hard on yourself. As much as we would love to protect our peeps, we can't always be there.

Not a cat for sure....

They do look like something from the weasel family.

Raccoons have very narrow tracks, very similar to a cat... those look like Fisher Cat tracks to me. I've seen them in our neighborhood, as well as all of the other predators listed on BackYardChickens.com's PREDATOR PAGE ( https://www.backyardchickens.com/LC-predators.html ) with the exception of the Mountain Lion. I'm taking BYC's advice on predator-proofing my henhouse before I build it!!!

It's a little difficult to get a solid idea, but I'm thinking a member of the weasel family.

Anything in the weasel family would have five-toed tracks. Those look like four toes...

Racoon tracks look like tiny hand print. Those are not coon prints. Looking at the second pic and the pattern of the tracks on the third I would say it was a coyote.

Were you able to continue tracking them? Those black feathers in the snow could make it easier to find out where your predator goes to eat and/or cache its leftovers. If there's a cache you could set a trap with the remains as bait. I'm sorry for you loss, hope you catch the culprit.
