   Could a fisher be a possibility? Any tracks around?

    Raccoons are very hungry this time of year, but I don&#39;t see why they or anything would take so much in one night I&#39;m intrigued.. I would definitely hook up a trail cam there for this evening.&#160;

      My friend who has (had) a flock of 18 chickens (but included 4 ducks) went in her chicken coup this morning and what she found was very gruesome, indeed; all but 4 were dead or nearly dead. She had seen a weasel on her back deck several weeks ago. 
      <br/>Could a weasel do so much damage to that many birds in just one night? 
      <br/>The coup is some ways from the house. Nobody in the family heard any kind of kerfuffel. 
      <br/>
      <br/>Thank you for any thoughts as to what kind of predator could do so much damage overnight.
