Oh Man! Have you got that right!

We had one get in our henhouse. Had to make a temporary divider in the chicken run to keep the girls away from the door while we tried to coax the skunk into leaving. Had things well in hand until the dang dog tried to "help." She got the skunk out of the henhouse, but it stunk for a month! http://www.pic4ever.com/images/oath.png

EEEEEWWWWW!!!

LOL, I don't have chickens yet, but I've been hanging around ferrets for quite a while!

: I LOVE their smell! Skunk smell reminds me of that, so it's nice to me.

Then again, I like the smell of permanent markers, rubber cement, and pain thinner too.

And no, I've never been a huffer!

Hmmmmmmm...baby skunk, baby possum. Rest of the families soon to follow.

Bring out the traps and guns.

Skunks first go after eggs, then baby chicks, etc. Possums will grab a full grown chicken.

if they get the opportunity they will eat the chickens but if they are up high the skunk probably wont climb up to get them and then just eat the feed
lucky he did "go off in the coop" not only would it smell but you would have too
