You might want to check for books at www.abebooks.com (This goes for everyone! for ANY book) Good prices and they are worldwide.

Hope that helps!

Thanks for the info @ChickenGrass ! I went to an agricultural show in Monaghan last summer & I noticed that the silkies over there seem to be less fluffy than the ones in the U.S. I had a couple of silkies a few years ago & mine were so fluffy you couldn't see their eyes. It caused mine a lot of problems as far as getting along with other breeds, so it seems like the Irish type would be much better off.

I am planning on breeding Orpingtons because they are dual purpose & have a nice temperament, and also they go broody. I have bantam Orpingtons right now & I like them a lot. My husband likes Wyandottes so we might get some of those too.

That's a crazy price for that book; I wonder if it might be possible to find a used copy somewhere...I will have to see what I can find.
