My wife went out for walkabout to check rooster grow out pen & feed & water . 3 of the 4 cockerels in pen dead . Drained of blood & little feet marks in SNOW . Pulled dead birds out got small live trap from barn set with dead squab from freezer & sardines . Set the trap finished loading van & headed down the road . Donna called me on phone within 5 minutes weasel in trap

Wow that was a fast catch, they are usually so elusive and hard to catch

So sorry for your loss, but I'm sure glad you got rid of him. Nasty critters.
