Want to know how your Missoula City Council members rank on conservation values? Their votes on chickens in city limits mattered. The Montana Conservation Voters just released a scorecard* on council members. It’s based on 10 issues, and city hens are one. (Two councilors earned perfect marks — 100 percent for Ward 1 Councilmen Dave Strohmaier and Jason Wiener.) Here’s the news release.*
Feel free to post links to recipes for rooster stew. I’m hearing some of those fuzzy yellow chicks from Quality Supply have grown up and started crowing. I just got off the phone with hen keeper Misty Gaubatz for another story, and she said this about one set of roosters she had: “They live in our freezer. We took them to a butcher, and they’re very delicious.”
