Hallo Tom,
your first idea is on one side very right and true, but we have in 
Germany also an other side:
In Germany we have also a second marten which is usually not hunting our 
squirrels, but living usually only inside towns and villages in Germany.
Farmers usually are loving this one, because it is killing mice and rats 
much better than cats. *But also it likes farmer's chickens and ducks.
Anyhow farmers found simple solutions to close the chicken houses only 
at night marten-proof. At daytime no risk.
And Chicken houses have to be always Fox-proof - all over the fox-world.
*This marten has a very, very high tolerance to humans. We Call them 
translated "House Marten"!!!

ciao
Hans
