How close do you live to a body of water. A mink is much more likely to remove just the head of its prey than a skunk.

I have a small pond about 100 yards from the chicken pen and that is where I first saw the skunk.

mink is the direction I would have went in first, but I saw the skunk 5 nights before first chicken got killed. When I removed the dead chicken they both smelled like a skunk.
