Coops
Cocks, which are male chickens, typically live on farms, in rural areas, or sometimes in urban settings where backyard chickens are kept. They share their living space with hens (female chickens) and are often kept in coops or chicken pens. These coops provide shelter, protection, and a place for roosting at night.
Yes, skunks can kill chickens, although they typically prefer to eat eggs. They are opportunistic feeders and may attack young or smaller chickens if they can access them. Skunks are more likely to raid chicken coops at night when they are most active. To protect chickens, it's important to secure coops and runs to prevent skunk access.

As for feed, corn is a staple of the poultry diet, but pellets containing corn, soybean, and vitamin supplements are commercially available. Coops should be large enough to allow chickens to roam and exercise, which will generate a higher egg yield. Try to accommodate all of your chickens with enough space to move!
