    Brad, thank you for contacting me and helping me out! I got the phone number/contact information from the APA site you suggested. By the way, I have long coveted both minorcas and WFBS, and it looks like I will be able to hatch out a few of BOTH this year, thanks 100% to the kindness and...

    I have been trying for months to find minorcas, specifically black minorcas. There are none in my area. I *love* minorcas (see my avatar??? He was a blue ribbon winner from last year's California State Fair & I fell in love with him the minute I looked into his beady little eye and heard him...
