    The Truth About Crossbreeding and Infusion

    The Truth About Crossbreeding and Infusion

    Crossbreeding is a very common method of breeding, but many are using it for the wrong reasons. The truth is, there are some unintended consequences from using this method, many of them are long lasting, and could be detrimental to the breed. In this episode we will discuss what's good about crossbreeding, but also what's not so good about crossbreeding. We will tell you what others don’t want you to know. Hopefully, this episode will change the way you look at crossbreeding, and change the way you breed your fowl.  This is a show you do not want to miss!
    We specialize in breeding, and breeding related topics. This includes proper selection practices and the use of proven breeding programs. It is our mission to provide our followers and members a greater understanding of poultry breeding, poultry genetics, poultry health care and disease prevention, and how to improve the production and performance ability of your fowl. 
    If you are interested in creating a strain, or improving your established strain, you are in the right place.

    Breeding Practices are Wrong, But Never Go Away

    Breeding Practices are Wrong, But Never Go Away

    These are practices that have been used for years, but are not based on good science or good selective breeding practices, but never producing favorable results. These practices, or beliefs, arose suddenly, shared as if they were true, and adopted by others who were desperately looking for answers too. Not knowing whether they would work, and lacking any other ideas or ways of moving forward, they followed these practices and beliefs hoping they would give them the results they were looking for. 
    The problem is, when a large number of people are saying the same thing, the beginner feels, “then they must be true.” So they follow this advice, and keep following it even though it doesn't produce favorable results. They just keep following it, and acting as if it were true. This is a show you do not want to miss!

    Is Purity of Blood a Reachable Goal?

    Is Purity of Blood a Reachable Goal?

    This has been a controversial topic for as long as I can remember. When I was a kid, what I noticed was, the people who said there were no such thing as a Pure Strain, were the same people who were always adding new blood. They were only breeding best to best, and their fowl looked mixed. On the other hand, the breeders who did believe in creating a Pure Strain, were the same breeders who would never think of adding new blood, and their fowl were great representatives of the breed, and were very uniform and consistent. This is a mind set that has been passed down, generation after generation. Some just follow without questions, some have tried but failed, and other just don’t care. But they all share the same problem, none of them know how to create and maintain a pure strain. In this episode, we will discuss why Purity of Blood is important, and hopefully encourage you to become a real breeder, and create your own strain.  This is a show you do not want to miss!

    Selection: both an Art and Science

    Selection: both an Art and Science

    Most breeders don’t know the importance of Selection. The truth is, selection is the difference between success and failure. You cannot create or improve a strain without some knowledge of selection. 
    However, when you talk with breeders, even experienced breeders, it’s amazing to see how little they know about the proper structure of the bird, the conformation and type of the birds, and the defects that exist. They select and breed for the wrong things, and then they wonder why their fowl are not progressing as they hoped. Their only resource is to add or infuse outside blood. 
    Join us as we discuss the powers of selection, and the processes that can turn a mongrel flock into a true family and strain. This is an episode that you do not want to miss.
