This morning at 5am the suspected Chicken Killer was spotted returning to the scene of the crime to possibly commit yet another crime.  We heard screaming from the chicken house, and were able to capture a photo of the assailant.

Bandit Fleeing the Scene of the Crime

This enhanced photo is the only evidence of the perp.  As you can see he wears a black mask and has creepy human hands (good for opening rudimentary locks on coops).  Fortunately the hens sounded the alarm in time and he was not able to breach the lock on the door.

This is the first racoon we have seen, previously a skunk and possibly a feral cat (unconfirmed) have been spotted in the past.
