It's about two in the morning, I just heard a bunch of squawking from my chickens and went out to investigate. All the chickens seem to be ok (my rooster is missing some feathers, but no gashes). I have a fenced in/enclosed chicken run that they stay in at night, and a coop for roosting and egg laying. I didn't see anything in the run, so I looked in the coop and found a skunk. It had some deep cuts on its face, and my rooster had some blood on his spurs (not his) so I assumed he tried to fight the skunk. I moved the chickens into another part of my yard and tried to scare the skunk out of the coop but he stayed put. Not really knowing what to do next, I closed the door to the coop and trapped him inside. My next question is now what? I would prefer to kill it, but I'm not really sure how to do that without getting sprayed. Anyone ever had something like this happen before?
