use a weasel box and a number 0 long spring if you wish I have caught a fair number in just the snap type rat traps

We use both a rat trap and a spring trap. Anything gets on that box it's GONE.

Plus a weasel box keeps other things like cats and dogs in the area safe!

Some members of the weasel family are pretty much everywhere in North America, although not as prominent. It's a good precaution to take to make sure your coop and chickens are safe from them. They are nasty little things that can get in very small spaces.

I vote for lead poisoning;/ (or whatever metal you have in your fire arm.) My family's dear rooster, Henry, was killed by a weasel back in 1980. I still haven't forgiven the species.

We just lost all 6 of our pullets to a weasel. I don't think I shall ever forgive them either!!! (Lead poisoning or a nice slap in the butt with a rat trap is our plan...)​
