[thowe]

I have a question? I have the book choosing and keeping chickens and I think the chicken on the cover is an Orpington, but what kind of Orpington. Here is the picture. Anybody know?

Okay I got one pipped a large ish hole first thing yesterday morning. It's beak is looking out, and it is breathing and everything. At what point would you think Abbott assisting? Is Been about a day and a half external pip .

I got home and the silkie that was zipping when I left died 3/4 of the way zipped. I don't understand why.

The d'uccle is a little more pipped, one healthy hatch and nothing from the other eggs yet.
