Ouch! And yes, a more despondent look it is hard to imagine. Glad he pulled through to be the proud rooster he is today!Keeping large coops properly secure, particularly those built on the ground is one of the reasons I don't build them.
Maybe the European weasel is different but I get a weasel attack every couple of months. Only one very small hen has ever been killed by (possibly) a weasel.here.
Of course, being free range they have the option to run and this is what they do. The weasel out in the open is an ambush predator and out in the open, they can only kill one chicken. Once a weasel get into a coop and run, because the chickens can't escape the weasel can end up killing the entire flock. The same applies to foxes, Pine Martens and a number of other predators.
This is Cillin when he was still a cockerel. He got attacked by a weasel. Because he was young and inexperienced he sustained more damage than usual.
