Well. . . .let's see. I don't have the book, so I can't scan anything in till next week. . .but I think there are great pictures on feathersite and on My Pet Chicken. The 40 degree angle is easy if you use the chickens back as the horizontal line, and envision a vertical line going straight up (like a quarter of a circle) That would be 90 degree. Half of that is 45 degree ( cut the quarter circle in half) and 40 degrees would be a bit under that. Does that make sense? Also check on the BYC breeder page here, and on houndits list of breeders for any Australorp people. You could ask them to look at his picture.
I still think he is STUNNING. . . .

Don't mind me, I am just completely computer illiterate, and if there is a way to draw it on here, I don't know of it.
