I have a land owner I trap for that had two chickens killed. Whatever it was chewed a 2.5” hole through the rotted wood coop and killed but didn’t eat one chicken. Same thing happened the next night with a new hole. Any idea what the culprit is? I’m thinking mink but would the only kill one and leave the other half dozen chickens alone?

Did it eat the whole chicken or just the head? Plucked or ripped open? Skull intact?

I was thinking weasel except I think a weasel would kill them all.
