Yup. We've got skunks. Again. Can I say I don't like skunks? Nope. I dislike them with a passion. We had another skunk casualty last week - one of our RIR hens was attacked and killed by one. Last year we had a skunk kill our other RIR hen. I think this skunk must just like RIR chickens. How do I know it's a skunk? I caught it red handed going after my hens. I see hens scrambling outside in the dark, very upset. So I tell my husband something is after our hens and head out to see what was going on, thinking MAYBE it wasn't a skunk (but knowing it probably was...). I look in the coop and see a BIG skunk eating 2 eggs. After he couldn't catch a hen he decided eggs were the next best meal. Stupid, stinky skunks.
