oh, that's good to know! gonna have to google what a fisher is though :/
thanks for the info!
Think of a weasel or mink on steroids that can climb like a squirrel and kill a full grown raccoon. On the bright side, they tend to be people shy and are not binge killers. They prefer to stick close to cover so clear around your coop. If they take a bird, they'll likely drag it far away and not be back for a few days. They are quite easy to trap (and the pelts are luxurious and valuable).A fisher (fisher cat) is not something you want anywhere near your chickens. They are pretty tough critters and have been known to kill other predators, even. You are likely in their native range. They are not overly common, but it's true that they predate on porcupines!
Make sure your coop is secure at night with no way for small critters to wiggle in. Hardware cloth is your friend, here!
