Rhonda, so glad you got the blood thirst bugger!! Yes they are merciless killers and do it just for the sport I think, or it just seems that way. I thought it was a weasel that was killing my chickens in the barn a few years back until I found a tuft of hair in the wire........raccoon, just ripping the heads off and leaving them. Found out where it was coming in and trapped it, spot blocked up and raccoon......gone!!

FYI .. Why weasels Rhonda's is called a Stoat kill everything . Kinda like a squirrel storing nuts for winter .I've had um store them right in the barn which obviously was where they were living . Most times its the female storing up for feeding her young . Luck

We had a ferret as a pet and it would stash food everywhere! It was fearless but charming and fun to have.
Glad you got it, we had one a few years ago go after and kill several of our chickens so know what a relief it is to see it gone...

Barn cats are pretty good at killing them.
