Volume 5 Number 4
August/September, 2010
On The Cover
      The August/September, 2010 cover photo winner is by Pepper McCarty, Texas. She tells us that she received this hatchery-quality Phoenix rooster as an "extra" from a chick order. His color is "Golden" though he is light enough that only the reddish colors of his shoulders give away that he is not a "Silver" Phoenix. Learn more about the Phoenix breed on page 44.—Ed.
