    How do I get rid of a skunk?

    Just about anything will go to the flybait. It has a sweet taste. Coons will get into it and so will dogs and cats. Like beckt said, when you shoot them they spray... and I mean they spray ALOT. The basically empty themselves.

    How do I get rid of a skunk?

    I caught a skunk last week in my live trap. That's good... the bad part is he seen me before I seen him and he sprayed me. Got me on the leg and let me tell you that was enough. I did shoot the skunk and removed it. Afterwards I was told a couple other ways to get rid of them. Skunks have...

    Icelandic eggs wanted

    I have a trio of Icelanics that I am working with now. I have eggs in the incubator. The birds are pure Icelandic, but I had the flock mixed for about a month. I seperated them about 1 week ago, so it might take some time to get back to pure. I'm not really sure how long this process takes.

    Hello from Western Illinois

    Just joined the site. Looks like there is alot of great info. My wife and my boys (3) and I love working with chickens. We also have a couple not so popular breeds. We have a trio of Icelandics and a trio of Auburn Javas. I look forward to learning more for the people on the site. T
