Chicken killing skunk

Anyone ever had one?

I’ve had complaints of them eating eggs but not chickens. But it’s for sure possible I would thank.

I seem to remember hearing of one killing them when I was a boy,and possums. They’re in the same family as mink. I guess one could go rogue.

had a farmer where i trap tell me last year he had a skunk getting his chickens.
i set some traps around his chickens on some trails coming into it. i caught 3 coons and a couple skunks and solved his problems.

so. ???

Never heard of it but lots of animals will take advantage of an easy meal…especially me.
I’d say it could certainly happen.

I can remember my papaw had a couple one year and he caught them in a leg hold and walked up to them grabbed the tail held it down and carried them and the trap to a deep hole of water and threw them in.

I remember my papaw talking about his dad just grabbing rats in the corn crib and squeezing them to death while they were biting his fingers.
