Hello, Missoula neighbor. I'm in Stevensville. There are only a few of us from the banana belt. Are any of you Montanans members of the MT Poultry Fanciers Assn.? I just joined a while back, after their Hamilton show in May. And I'm hoping to attend the Great Falls show in Oct., I believe. They also have a website that's a Yahoo group. They're a very nice group of folks. I really enjoyed the Hamilton show. Anyone else with chickens in the Western MT fair this week? I've entered my very rare Cream Brabanter and a black Blue-Laced Red Wyandotte. They judged last night, so I hope I'm greeted with a ribbon when I go feed this morning. It's funny, how you say, "I don't really care about the ribbons." But still hope and wish that you get one. My main reason, though, was so people could see the Brabanter, since I've fallen in love with the breed. They're just so colorful, and nice quiet birds. At least, the pullet is; I don't have any cockerels yet. Next spring...
