Today around noon I went outside to see if my one laying chicken had already finished the job and left her "little present" for me.
Well as I was walking up to the coop a skunk
was walking towards the coop as well.
I don't think I have moved that quick since I was 16
As I sent my son to get the shotgun I kept an eye on the critter. I guess I must have scared the little guy as much as he scared me and he ran off back out of the yard.
My question is should I be concerned about skunks as predators? I have seen a lot of posts about coons and opossums but I have not seen one about skunks.
On a lighter note, when I went to get my lone little egg I got a suprise, it seems that two of my other hens finally decided to start laying. Three eggs today
