Yep, I rocked on regardless.

Actually men's shaving cream on my skin cancelled the odor for the most part.

Thank you...another option. Thank you.

Glad I got "a" skunk.
Not sure it's the right one and we all know it won't be the only/last one. He'is a big skunk I'm to understand.

The MO of a skunk...did you tell me they take off their heads? I took graphic pictures of the kill zone. Just terrible. The predator bit them along their necks like a vampire...two teeth...and their necks were swollen and red. Feathers were messed and gone from their necks. My white Silkie's head was gone. No marks on the bodies that I could see.

That post was supposed to post along time ago! Jeeeze.
Well my two odd ball eggs Ameraucana and Delaware are hatching tomorrow. 7 days the d'uccles and 12 days the seramas. Planning on many late nights

Sometimes that happens to me too! I'm like....where's my post?

Baby chickies!!!

It's ok...it happens.
It was my fault.

 

[Wickedchicken6]

That's what I would do, baking soda followed by coffee grounds

Thank you too!

Had a hawk snatch up a 6 m/o pullet a couple days ago. Feathers everywhere. Never found the body. Not to long ago a pack of rats corn on the cobbed a pullet's head.
Never a dull moment.

 

[Lazy Farmer]

It did! (How did you know)
What should I put on the smelly spot; baking soda, corn starch or coffee grounds.
Was thinking baking soda followed by coffee grounds???

Or maybe cat litter???

I did see that...I'm sorry about your loss. Especially on top of everything.
This is my first deaths with the bodies of the chickens left with this group of chickens. 25 years ago we had chickens...we probably had a body, don't remember now.
