| A Buff Silkie hen, Lilly, poses for the camera. Photo by Dawn Kopp, Dryden, Michigan. Dawn has shared many wonderful photos with us and we have used them in several issues to date. This is the first time one of Dawn’s photos has been chosen for the cover, but don't be surprised to see more in the future. See page 24 for photo contest details.
