These pics aren't very clear - but something/someone has been visiting our coop in the evening or morning hours. I noticed fresh prints after the snow but couldn't take pics until today. We lost a 12 week old Silky chick the other week and I suspect one of the visitors took her. Most of the prints were around the two flock blocks I have in the unsecured run.

I'm not sure, but it looks a little bit like a raccoon. I'll have my husband take a look when he gets home. He'll probably know.
 
My husband's a hunter and is real good about identifying tracks but couldn't tell
from your pictures what it was. Do you have a game camera? We use one all the time. It's a outside camera that
takes a picture when it senses movement. Works great. Some can be a little pricey but you'll know what's in your backyard. Good luck.
 
Thank you for trying. I'll look at the cost of getting a game camera. Whatever it was it didn't come back last night. We had fresh snow and the only tracks were from birds and squirrel.
