Weasel?

Got a call from a lady that took two birds off me a few months ago. Something got in her coop and took 16 chicks (not sure what age but there's no sign of them-just gone) and killed several adult birds by ripping/chewing throats. The rooster she got from me was one of them. RIP Elvis.
She sealed a gap under the door that looked like entry point and put out traps. Sound like weasel?
She's devastated.

Thx @WLLady and @ross hadn't seen that chart before. She said all her birds were in caged pens, not sure how big wire openings are but makes me lean towards weasel/mink. It got through openings and killed the birds and left others untouched. Poor things musta been terrified. Hopefully she's got it under control now. Made me go search every square inch of mine for the bizzillionth time to be sure.

This is only size wire or smaller that will keep weasel out or in
