Skunks?

Will a skunk kill and eat a full grown chicken?

 

[wyomingleghorn]

i havent seen it yet but i have seen them get into anything they can get away with

 

[jhm47]

Yes!

 

[yinepu]

yes they can

they will usually just go after the eggs.. but if hungry enough chicken is on the menu

Skunks are weasel-related so yes but usually they kill one in the process of stealing eggs.

Yikes, makes me feel lucky to hear that skunks will eat a chicken. I recently caught 3 baby skunks whose mama made a den under my chicken coop. I knew skunks were eating eggs, I just didn't know at the time that they were living so close! I covered the hole the skunk had been using, hopefully with her babies gone (neighbor's dog killed the fourth one) she won't come back.

Yes they will.
