Hank,
is there an option in photobucket for BB code? if so, choose this. if it contains {IMG] tags, paste in as is. If not, enclose in [img] tags...

looks like you posted a url, and put it between [img] tags....

but no expert! :D

I received some disturbing news last night when I spoke to my Lady friend that has the chicken flock.
Apparently a skunk has been sneaking in to the chicken yard at night a has been slowly decimating the flock.
Night before last he got the Rooster-Rooster(4 years old ), he was mostly reddish with a tan cape white tail feathers, and a few other colors mixed in throughout. All that was left were some feathers his beak skull and his feet.
If you look at the photo I posted he is third up from the bottom Left. Last week the skunk got the Road Island Red hen (Ole’ Red),that was in the flock.
When I get back to Utah I will have to go on “Safari” and eliminate the dirty SOB.
I will avenge Rooster-Rooster an Ole‘ Red!

Sorry to hear about your friends chickens. My dad has a similar problem. The foxes in his area have done a number on his cats.

Keep in mind that skunk makes some wonderful tying material. I use it as a polarbear substitute (see fly below). This is a fly I tyed with with a skunk zonker strip. Lovely stuff to work with...

Ray;
Good lookin' fly.
When I get done with 'the job', I'll see what condition the skin is in. Hopefully not so odiferous that I can’t do anything with it. Who knows, may even try to make a skunk skin cap to wear at a Rendezvous.
I'll still have some of the banties to choose from and the neighbor in town with the flock of peabirds, I'll have to have a talk with him about when the P's molt.
