Will skunks eat chickens??

[Farmlife16]

This is the trap we used to get the skunks out from under our house:

They're great because you can't take a head-on spray from them and they stay more relaxed because they can't see you. But you do have to let them out in order to shoot. You have to make sure you use bait that cats usually don't like or you will catch them instead and it's really hard to get a proper visual through the window on top. We caught a big pretty black one the first time (we didn't shoot it!). I have found that raccoons don't like to go in this kind of trap but you never know. I baited with soft boiled eggs that I cut in half to expose the yolk. For some reason they didn't go in for the hardboiled ones... my husband made fun of me so much for timing a skunk egg but hey, they were their last meals!

Thanks!
