Can you tell the predator by it's poop?

I know my dog let the girls out of the coop, but it looks like a hawk got one (just a pile of feathers) & I found this interesting pile of poop. Looks like it has berries. Coyote or ??

Berries? Omnivore is what comes to mind, which could be raccoon or possum if its a cat sized poo or even dog if large poo or any number of things depending on the area.

probably raccoon

It looks like it could be bobcat or raccoon. Cant really tell from the pic how large the terds are though. I have seen bobcat stool that looks exactly like that though. A feral cats poop may look like that as well, though.

Taste it if it taste like chicken it is your predator.

Looks like coon to me.

You know i was expecting a good "lets pull up a stool and check this out" line but I cant imagine anyone wanting to know that badly.

I'm too pooped to figure it out.

It looks very similar to bear scat to me!

Probably unlikely, but you have bears in your area? If it's not a bear I'd bet it's another omnivore such as raccoon.
