I like your tactics thegawd. Aggressive offense. Eliminate on sight and ask no questions.

So would you keep the ferret outside? Put it out on a leash? Would the scent alarm the birds too?

Re: Best way to prevent pests
Keep the ferret in your house, and spread its litter or bedding around your coops. No, the birds are not seemingly bothered by the smell of weasel urine/scat. The sight of them, however, will freak them out. Weasels as pets are not my personal cup of tea, but I know two people who do this and swear by it.

And having an intact ferret, that still has its scent glands, in your house, will help with social distancing as well, as nobody will want to come into your house. lol
