Skunked

Here we are again, I have been out in the yard in the dark night in my pjs and muck boots smelling chicken feathers.

How do I keep coming to this point.... and who would ever think of themselves as being here !

Any way, here I am and we have lost most of our chickens already this year. 8 chickens in two weeks to be exact. This means we are now in desperate need of laying hens. We only have 5 layers left and only two are laying right now. That is not enough to feed my family much less sell. From the smell of a fresh batch of chicken feathers we found on the ground we believe it to be a skunk. Let's all hope we trap it tonight.
