HELP! What animal poop is this?

[Jwren7]

Help!!
This animal poop is all over the backyard.. We had a chicken killed the other day. So we are on the look out and trying to catch this. It’s small looking and in trails.. or in random spots. Thank you in advance for all your help. We had a raccoon 6-7 months ago and they never had poop like this outside.

The amount of dropping spots could indicate diarrhea.
Possibly coyote or fox.

Is that 1/2" hardware cloth?
If so, it's pretty small stuff.....is it decomposed?
Hard to say, just keep looking for fresh stuff.
If your coop and run are secure, no need to kill it what ever dropped this.

I can't see it very well. It almost looks like worm castings, when the soil gets damp and they push up soil and casting above grade into little mounds.

Here's a website that will help you ID what you're seeing. For each animal, they have an article and in the article a link to what their poop looks like. http://www.wildlife-removal.com/raccoonpoop.html
