Been down allotment to dig out the chickens, and noticed some tracks in the snow. One set exiting from a 2im diameter hole, under the shed, and running directly to food hopper and back, leaving small footprints and body drag-marks in the 4in snow - obviously ratty!
Another pair exiting from under shed via a 3in hole, (so co-exists with ole ratty) and leaving hand -like footprints about an inch in diameter, no body or tail marks so obviously leggy enough to clear the snow, and with about a nine inch stride! This critter can also jump vertically onto a 3ft wooden fence, squeeze through a 4in fence mesh and jump down the other side.
Me stumped but thinking Mink??? - but chickens obviously not being bothered or worried by it!
Any ideas???
