Coon, fox or something else?

[Lelilamom]

We lost our three Turkey poults Tuesday night to a predator. Broke through chicken wire into the run and dragged all three out and into the woods nearby. Left a few parts and pieces but nothing whole. Our experience with coons is they kill and eat right there and fox drag out and away, but the space this predator got through was very small, only a few inches.

What else small drags pray away? Weasle?

Mink, fishers , coons - depending on size of the poults, perhaps not a weasel.

Set a live trap last night. Raccoon was in it this morning.

Set a live trap last night. Raccoon was in it this morning.

Raccoon will eat on the spot, but also carry away, I saw a run and grab once. Raccoon ran grab one of my chickens and ran away with it.
Raccoon will eat feathers and all, weasel family usually not all bird.

Coons sometimes have babies or young ones they will drag away the prey then feed it to the babies.
