Mostly left our stuff alone in favor of squirrels, but they can and will eat chickens... martens seem more likely to prowl around buildings...

Any weasel will eat chickens, but they're nocturnal so keep the chickens locked up at night. They're very cagey around humans though, so it's likely they won't come near your house when there's easier things to eat.

A fisher cat is pretty cool to see in the wild. I have read they will take on deer.

I have no doubt they would eat chickens, cats, dogs, anything.

Mean looking predator eyes. I wouldn't want one mad at me.
