Jossanne. I loved your post. Am still laughing at the idea of a man grabbing a skunk by the tail (business end no less!). I think I would have taken the chooks to the garage for the night and hoped the skunk would leave in the AM. Guess you know that your coop and run need an overhaul????? Will the world miss one skunk? He was in your domain, and you were not hunting for him in his. Sleep well and fix that coop.
