Weasel problems

[tate5]

I recently lost 11 chickens (2 in one night 6in one and 3 in another night) and I can figure out what did it! My first thought was coon but no signs of coon around the building and the biggest hole was at the largest an inch! So I thought possible weasel or mink! If never seen a weasel and know nothing about the like how to catch them or what to use. Domumguys have any good tips?

Trap em! If you are allowed too.......Rat trap baited with meat works well!

Most likely your killer are rats, Look at the chickens what signs are there? are they chewed on? are the heads and necks chewed on ? are they pulled to the wire or laying in the coop?

Whatever it was it just worked on the head and tried pulling them under a pallet we had in there there was little tracks on top of the ledge that looked like possible weasel or mink tracks do rats kill large numbers? What do they do to the chickens they kill?

I lost my whole flock of chickens one year to weasels and the were just starting to lay. This was before a became a trapper. These little guys ended up with lead poisoning . Then last fall I lost all my duck and some chickens to yotes. Just lost my last six bird to what I think might have been weasel also. Of course they did this just after our season ended on trapping land animals. I give up!!! grain cost more that what I can buy the eggs for any how.
