How do I stoat proof a coop? Very confident stoat.

[DogAndCat36]

I have a very confident stoat that even tried to kill a chicken right in front of me. I made another thread about it Here.
I don't think that I will sleep safely tonight, I KNOW that it will get inside the coop at night. What do I do? How do I cover my coop snuggly enough to keep this monster out? Please please help.

I think that I moved this to the wrong forum. Any moderator people, can you please move it to Coop & Run. Thanks

I have never seen a stout and had to look it up! I had no idea they are in North America. Trapping it appears to be your best bet. This site describes 2 https://poultrykeeper.com/pests-and-predators/stoats-and-weasels
