So a few days ago I began to notice there were lots of dig marks and some of the large rocks were moved around the edge of my run. I borrowed my dad's trail cam to see what I was up against in regards to trapping. Here are some of the pictures I got. This was the first night, I got really lucky that it didn't get any of my birds. It looked like it didn't quite make it in the run, seemed to get stuck since there weren't any pictures of it actually in the run.
I got some fox urine that my dad gave me a while ago and placed around the coop last night just before dark. My parents have had good luck getting rid of skunks with fox urine. This morning it appears the urine did nothing! More skunk pictures, and it was definitely in the run. Here's a couple from last night.
You can clearly see the skunk in the run. On each post I hung a scent bottle with the fox urine, it apparently didn't do any good. I've got a live trap set tonight with some anchovies and peanut butter. I also made sure to close up the gap that the skunk got through, I feel pretty lucky my birds remained unharmed.
