come Wed. i will see how many BBS orps i get out of my hatch
the buffs & silkies are hatching well
some how i am getting some black silkies from a white roo & 2 brown hen

others are either lite grey or tan when they hatch but feather out 98% white after a few weeks

SHANGHAI - Poultry markets in China's biggest city Shanghai were shut down on Friday and thousands of birds slaughtered as authorities attempted to prevent the spread of a new strain of bird flu, which has now claimed six lives. Shanghai ordered all live poultry markets in the city closed on Friday after culling more than 20,000 birds.
