A skunk will eat baby rabbits and full grown rabbits. I just saw a video of a skunk and rabbit fighting. The skunk bit the rabbit and killed it. It then proceeded to drag away the rabbit. Im not sure the rabbit decided to fight, it could have easily ran away. This was in February winter snowy weather, so I assume the rabbit was not protecting babies.

Yes, I've seen it with my own eyes. We found a 2 young rabbits in a shallow depression under the bunk of our pop-up camper. During the night we were awaken by a shrill scream. By the time I got there the skunk had killed one of the young and was eating it. I suppose that it was nature a work but it took a while before I got back to sleep.

as an omnivore, they will eat anything they can get to when hungry. If baby birds are where the skunk can get them, yes.

Yes, skunks have eaten chickens. However, they are more likely to eat the eggs or young chicks than adult chickens.

Why do daddy skunks eat their babies?

This is not a common behavior in male skunks. In fact, if it ever happens, it may be the result of a male skunk with rabies. While skunks can at times be competitive, they are generally solitary and it would be unusual for them to attack or eat each other. Most skunks prefer to eat insects (especially grubs and bees); they will also eat a variety of fruits, seeds, and even small rodents. Male skunks tend to have little contact with their babies: baby skunks (called "kits") are raised by their mother.
