A buddy at work just had that happen to his chickens, 13 of them. A couple the first night, the rest the second night. After the first night, he put out a trail cam by the chicken house. He had a bunch of pictures of a weasel in there. On the same night he put the trail cam out, he went and bought the smallest live trap TSC sells and put that out, baited with chicken. He had a picture from the trailcam of the weasel inside the live trap, and then one of it squeezing through the 1" squares in the mesh it was built with. Even though the chickens have been gone for a week now, the weasel comes back every night. He wrapped the sides and back of the live trap with thin wood paneling, due to the trigger arrangement he couldn't put any on the door or the top of one side. He caught the little bigger again, but he made it out through the squares that he couldn't cover up. He made 2 small weasel boxes, baited with chicken, with 2 rat traps inside each one. For a few days now, he will get in there, set off both traps and take the chicken. My buddy now decided that he would mount the weasel boxes on a board and nail a sticky glue trap in front of the weasel boxes. His camera has a picture of the little guy stuck in the glue trap, but once again, he muscled his way off from it somehow. Joe said he must be bald now, because it looked like half of his hair was left on the glue trap, and it looked like a badger had went at it, it was so chewed up. He was asking the guys at work what he should do, or if anyone had any other ideas, as this weasel doesn't seem to be afraid of anything, but seems to be impossible to contain once caught. I suggested making a tunnel to the weasel box, a small tunnel, and covering all 4 sides with those sticky traps. When he gets caught on the one on the bottom, he will struggle and get caught in the others, hopefully slowing down his mobility. He hasn't had a chance to try it out yet, but we'll find out soon I guess.
