Is most of the country......most of the country being the south. The ABA OEGB guys didn't like me coming to Columbia SC with my little sissy duck and cleaning their clocks, so they tried to change the rules to make the ducks ineligable to compete for best of bantam against the bantam chickens. That was a big enough war to force Poultry Press to say they would not post any more letters concerning the matter. You live in a very small cloistered world down there and the sentiment is no longer in the majority. People in the north, midwest and west have chickens too, No question that LF numbers are not the same as bantams and as you admit the APA recognizes the bantams as well. Other than the south, every show in the US is almost always ABA/APA. I would rather have a crack at beating 3500 or more. btw:The ABA National is at my clubs show in Jan.

The real discussion is the APA admittance proceedure. Jeff told the ABA committee to work with the APA....specifically to work with me.....so that's where it really is. Is the APA unreasonable for requiring the breed meet the conformation standard as well as the color standard? the only answer I have received so far is how great the ABA is. I like the ABA too, I am a past director. That is really what we were talking about. You have been gone a very long time lady....things are not as you remember them in the management of the two clubs.

People on this site only read what they want to read in posts. It is kind of crazy.

Not "gone" Walt, just on the sidelines. Johnny Batson had kept me posted until his back surgery.
