Have you ever had a weasel enter your chicken tractor?

Hi everyone,
I'm planning to build an open-bottomed chicken tractor, and I'd like to learn more about weasel behavior before doing so. Thanks in advance for your answers!

I don't have a chicken tractor, but I do have a coop that has porches. The porches have dirt floors. A skunk dug under the walls of one of my porches, and killed a 10 year old silky, and a SFH probably the same age. We put out a trap and relocated it to an area the game dept. said to.

I still have the porches with dirt floors, but I put boards on the ground on the outside edges of the porch.

I'm sorry for your loss. Did this happen during the day or at night?

I'll definitely be doing some kind of additional protection from diggers, but I'm not sure what type yet, or how many layers of protection I'll add. Weasels have me the most concerned, since we definitely have them on our property, and since they are so small and sneaky and brutal.
