Chain Link vs. Racoons

I've seen roadkill martens on highway 26 outside of Portland. They're around.

Thanks. I'll have to go down and pick my neighbors brain to find out what lurks around the area. I have a feeling I haven't seen anything like this because of the cats. There are lots of them around, including mine. But its good to know this is a possibility. Thank you!

Remember that just because you or no one else has seen them in the area does not mean they are not there, few people ever see a wild weasel even though they are everywhere in the US...

Weasels hunt at night, close coop door at night. I used a dog kennel for run for 5 years and no problem. The trick is having a weasel proof coop and closing the door every night.

If it eats chickens, ducks or geese, I'm sure this guy has had it happen. You can't have several yards of free ranging poultry and not have any losses. Maybe for him its just minimal because he has so many.... Thanks for all your advice! I'll be weasel -proofing the run now too.
