Welcome to BYC! Glad you joined our flock. So very sorry for your loss. I whole heartedly recommend minimum of 19 gauge HC on the floor of the run. This should protect from burrowing critters. We have fishers here as well. I've only recently seen one in my yard and I must say they are a particularly evil looking creature. Best of luck going forward.

Hello allswell63
Welcome to BYC.
How did the fisher cat manage to kill all six? Did it get into the coop?

 

[allswell63]

How did that little bugger get in there? Good for you for moving it on it's way!

We experienced some expansion/contraction and the fastener was compromised. We had been blocking with 5-lb cinderblock. Also, fishers here in Maine need streams and the nearest stream is 2 blocks away and (fool me!) it was figured it would be fine. Well, they have hands! and are strong...and I had never in 6-8 years had such an experience. Well, look out - I'm taking the lead with predator precautions! I found them - so awful...
I researched the devastation - only culprit possible based on evidence - fisher!
