What did this come from?

Hello, I was wondering if somebody could identify the critter that left this.
It was right next to my chicken coop so I need to know if it's something to worry about, like a possum or raccoon. Or even a cat or dog.

It's hard to know because I can't tell what size it is. Looks like tortoise poop.

Well, I didn't measure it. But it is probably about an inch thick.

I have no idea. Hope it won't be a problem for you.

Me too. I still remember that huge possum I saw in my backyard a couple months ago.

It's not opossum poop. I used to have to clean my box turtles' waterers out every morning first thing because the resident 'possum pooped in there. So I recognize 'possum poop. And raccoon usually makes little dog-like poops.

Well, I don't know what it is. I definitely hope it's not racoon.

Wow, I've never seen so much &@%# in one place! I don't think we have porcupines here in the middle of town but who knows. Could be.

I think it's too big for a squirrel. I should've took a picture of it before I cleaned it off to the side of the yard. I thought it might have been from just a regular cat, the neighbors have a bunch of them, but it was not varied it was on a piece of plywood lying on the ground right next to the chicken run and the chick brooder pen.

Varmint maybe,? Like a ground hog.

We don't have any groundhog colonies here. Maybe it was something like a weasel. I don't even know what a weasel is but I know there are weasels and mink in this general area.

May seem off the wall here, but I'm serious, any chance you know what it smelt like? Cat crap smells like cat, ect.
