What is this creature?

Definitely secure your coop and run but if it has other easier pray I think it would go for that first. Pick up any food or treats you put out to keep it away. But they are little slinkies. Can sneak into the smallest areas.

This last photo looks like Raccoon to me - note the "rings" on the tail.

Yeah, that's what freaks me out about them. They wouldn't be able to get in the coop, but I do have a small section of run I never got hardware cloth over. Guess what I'm doing today?! LOL

Yes, I added that for size comparison.

Yes, I know. If you read the last sentence of my first post I said I added that for size comparison.

O.K. Then the first 2 photos are what you are after. They are not really clear enough for i.d. but would take a guess with the size and body "language" it's a cat

oh man, I'm so sorry I forgot about that!

Raccoon. Looks like it has the ringtail. If so be careful. Raccoons get pretty big and mean. They can tear up a dog even a 40-50 pound dog. Vicious creatures and wicked smart.

Again, that is not the picture in question. I added that for size comparison.
