If you search for both weasel and stoat, you'll probably get a lot more results with weasel.
Just sayin'....trying to help you find the info you are asking for.

Not my chickens- yet. However, the lady I bought my donkey had just had a fisher attack. They can climb a 5 foot fence to drain the blood from a chicken.

They are very destructive little guys when they get in your coop, often killing the whole flock and not eating a one.
