Found these tiny footprints all around my coops this morning. I know they aren't raccoon or possum- any guesses? The quarter is for scale.

BTW- nothing tried to get in the coops, from what I can tell, but seems like they are everywhere that I tend to set down the feed bucket.
 
I know you think not a raccoon............ but I think they are.
 
Well- I'm thinking skunk- but I've never actually seen skunk tracks before. Would they be interested in the feed? The trctks are too small to be a coon, and they don't have the "fingers".

I'm going to look up weasel tracks

Some tracks look like possum look in the snow and see if tail is draging or touching snow every now and again. I would say possum. It looks like tail is touching snow.
 
There were a bunch of scratches where whatever it was tried to get up on the bench (where the quarter is), but no tail marks. They're just a little bigger than cat footprints.
 
I think some sort of weasel. Doesn't look quite like the opossum tracks here in my book, looks more like weasel.
