I would paint the bare wood. Maybe rent a paint sprayer. Fresh bedding on the floor and in nest boxes. I am trying to remember the mixture we used for the dog. Seems like peroxide and water or vinegar and water. Maybe mouthwash too. A real simple mix but worked well. Maybe google homemade skunk dog chicken. How many chickens do you have?

Ok, not the best idea, but my dear hubby heard some noise in the middle of the night at the chicken coop. Some how a STUPID skunk got in and killed a 3 month old. Hubby opened the door - first mistake. Second mistake - he should have just opened the door and left it propped open and walked away until the skunk left. Third mistake and BIGGEST MISTAKE: SHOT THE SKUNK. Everything, and I mean Everything GOT SPRAYED. Hubby stank so bad he almost got relegated to sleeping with the dogs outside.
Now to deal with it this morning. I know we have to remove everything from the coop. Bare wood: how and what do we scrub everything down with? I washed hubby in Technu and it worked great. Will be burning his pants though. Do we have to wash each chicken or will this ever go away. And here's the clincher: they free roam. Told him I would shoot any of them that came to the house - which they all do. Do NOT know what to do.
Yee gads. What a situation.
