Just thought I would put in my 2 cents (scents haha.) Last year a skunk killed some older hens I have. We bought a wire trap and caught it, then the game guy told us where to let it go. In the future, I would put a tarp around the cage before setting the trap.
Today there was skunk smell again. The chickens seem unmolested, but we will put away food at night now, and a light on the chickens. I hope that will keep them away. I also put extra barriers (laid down loose boards) around the edges of my coops so there will be no digging.
