Peroxide, dish soap and baking soda will remove the smell but the area will have to be scrubbed clean with the solution.I specifically asked her when they were sprayed. She told me it sprayed when her husband shot the skunk. So her chickens didn't get sprayed, it was their nesting boxes. How do you get the smell/spray out of the nesting boxes and coop? I read vinegar, you put it in a spray bottle and spray down where the skunk sprayed. Idk if that works though?
Welcome to BYC ! good luck with your smell removal .How do you get skunk smell off chickens and taste from eggs? They were sprayed last summer.
I told my cousin to look into it. She misses her fresh eggs. Thank you so much.Welcome!
There's a product sold at pet stores and some veterinarian's that's called 'Skunk Off'. It's sold for dogs who are sprayed, but should work for nest boxes too. Vinegar does help a lot!

I passed along the info. Thank you so much!Try scrubbing with Dawn and add KOE (See: https://smile.amazon.com/Thornell-K...eywords=KOE+Fresh+scent&qid=1620347282&sr=8-1 ) to the water. Dawn has enzymes to dissolve natural smells and deposits. If that doesn't do it, I'd spray the coop with straight KOE after it is dry. It gets totally rid of cat piss smell that is soaked into wood, so I think it will get rid of skunk. If it works, you should be able to wash chickens in Dawn and KOE mix. KOE is not a detergent or perfume and Dawn is what they use to clean birds from oil spills. I suspect Skunk smell has an oil in it because every time it gets wet, it smells again.
