Need help identifying scat found in run from last night

@Nardo no such thing as hunting too much. Well, maybe to the spouse. Great analysis.

Coop door closed. Run door open. Chickens safe. AllenK locked in the house with the dogs, so everyone is safe. Mostly.

Thank you for the feline vote. Do wild cats bury scat like their domesticated relatives?
Some do, maybe the more timid or lower on the hierarchy. The big ones don't have to bury/disguise their movements. :gigIt's like, "Yeah, I'm here and I took a big dump, whatcha gonna do about it?" But the more fearful of detection then the more they want to cover their tracks, literally. IMO
 
I just tossed this wormy scat over the fence. It was still moist enough to smear up my collection device @ 9:15AM this morning. I never bother to close the run door so it doesn't have to be a climbing predator.

Potential predators are: Raccoon, Coyote, Javalina, Possum, Owl, Jaguarundi, Occelot(rare), rats too but these nodules of poo were approximately nickle to quarter sized. Also there was a thick white urea rich area on one of the nodules. Where this scat was found there is no overhead cover for a roosting bird as well.

Ft Squawks was not compromised at all, its why I never shut my run door. Thank you for any assistance you can offer.

Most likely Wampus cat scat.
Do you have them in your area?
 
Aww, Banty...:hugs

I'm so glad to hear you have a bed of frozen rags now! Your behavior must have really improved! Keep going, we have faith in you! Eh?!?

Keep taking your pills and things will be fine in no time. Just look at AllenK.

I'm so glad you could work out a rat supply deal with AllenK, this place is so great! Swamp Rats for everyone!
I was so happy to swap the dung pile out for the rags! It was the best day of my life.

Perhaps it was a white Rhino????
I'm now leaning towards a North American house hippo.
