    Beyond the Ribbon: A Conversation with Mike Sayre and Matt Lhamon

    Breeding Smarter, Preserving Type, and Shaping the Future of Exhibition Poultry In this episode, we sit down with Mike Sayre, co-host of the Talking Chickens with M&M Exhibition Poultry Podcast alongside Matt Lhamon, for an in-depth conversation about exhibition poultry, judging, and the future of the hobby. Whether you're a seasoned breeder or just getting started, this episode offers a rare behind-the-scenes look at what it really takes to succeed in the poultry fancy. Mike shares his journey into poultry, from raising a wide range of breeds, including Cochins (his specialty), Modern Game bantams, Wyandottes, Leghorns, and Plymouth Rocks, to becoming a respected APA/ABA licensed judge and longtime exhibitor. As President of the American Bantam Association, he offers valuable insight into how the organization has evolved and what changes he's witnessed over the years. We talk about the art and responsibility of judging: how one becomes qualified, the challenges judges face, and what truly separates a "good" bird from a champion. Mike also opens up about controversial decisions, common faults in today's show birds, and the delicate balance between adhering to the Standard of Perfection and allowing room for interpretation. Beyond the show table, Mike reflects on the deeper meaning of poultry exhibitions, highlighting the camaraderie, community, and shared passion that bring breeders together. He also discusses how social media has influenced breeding trends, and what first-time exhibitors often misunderstand when entering the show world. The conversation explores some of the more complex and debated topics in poultry breeding today, including: The role of judges in shaping breeds, and whether "breeding to win" can do more harm than good. The challenges of double mating and maintaining birds that breed true to standard. Concerns about shifting priorities from utility to beauty in modern exhibition birds. The ongoing debate around American Gamefowl recognition in the APA. The risks of focusing too heavily on egg color at the expense of overall bird quality. Mike also shares stories from his background in the Thoroughbred horse racing industry, along with his extensive contributions to poultry education, writing articles, co-authoring books like Breeding and Showing Cochins: Making it to Champion Row, and developing resources, such as "Incubation and Brooding Ideas from the M&M Guys" and the M&M Master Mix feed. As we look ahead, Mike offers his perspective on where the poultry hobby is headed over the next 10–20 years, what concerns him most, and how breeders can stay grounded in strong fundamentals while adapting to change.

    Defects of the Fowl - The Road-blocks of Perfection

    Bred to Perfection with Kenny Troiano and Nancy Troiano What stands between you and a truly exceptional strain of fowl? Sometimes, it's the defects hiding right in front of you. In Episode 307 of Bred to Perfection, Kenny and Nancy Troiano take an in-depth look at one of the most overlooked yet critical aspects of breeding: identifying, understanding, and managing defects. Many breeders fail to recognize the flaws in their own birds, whether due to being "yard blind" or simply not knowing what to look for. But overlooking these defects can have serious consequences for the quality, consistency, and future of an entire strain. From duck toe, wry tail, and squirrel tail to eye abnormalities, head and beak deformities, crooked breastbones, wing faults, and leg and toe problems, this episode explores the many defects breeders need to recognize. Kenny and Nancy explain how to evaluate a bird's type, balance, structure, vigor, and overall conformation, and why careful observation and proper selection are essential to a successful breeding program. Not all defects have the same causes or require the same approach. Some result from environmental conditions, poor nutrition, or management issues, while others are genetic and can be passed from one generation to the next. Recessive defects can remain hidden for generations before appearing in offspring, making them especially important to understand. Other defects involve multiple genes and may be improved over time through informed selection and a well-planned breeding strategy. You'll also learn why recognizing defects early matters, when culling is necessary to protect your strain, and how to approach the improvement of a line affected by certain inherited faults. In the after-show discussion, Kenny explores another important consideration for serious breeders: gene flow, and how introducing outside birds can affect the consistency and long-term development of an established strain. Whether you're an experienced breeder or just beginning your journey, this episode will help sharpen your eye, strengthen your selection practices, and give you a better understanding of the challenges standing between your current flock and your breeding goals. #BredToPerfection #PoultryBreeding #BreedingProgram #GeneticSelection #SelectiveBreeding #LineBreeding #Crossbreeding #Outcrossing #Backcrossing #Inbreeding #ClanMating #PoultryGenetics #StrainDevelopment Make sure to follow and watch our future shows.

    Breeding Methods Explained: What separates a successful breeding program from simply breeding birds?

    Understanding why, when, and how to use the right breeding method. In this episode of Bred to Perfection, Kenny Troiano and Nancy take an in-depth look at the major breeding methods used by serious poultry and gamefowl breeders, and explain why no single method should be relied upon indefinitely. Each method has a specific purpose, and each must be applied at the right stage, for the right length of time, within a structured breeding program. The discussion begins with crossbreeding, including the advantages of hybrid vigor and the challenges of producing predictable offspring when crosses are bred forward. From there, Kenny and Nancy examine outcrossing, explaining why introducing genetics from another strain of the same breed can be useful but also carries significant risks if not carefully controlled. They then explore backcrossing as a short-term strategy for gathering specific traits from an exceptional parent, followed by inbreeding, not simply as a breeding system, but as a powerful tool for intensifying genetics and exposing both strengths and weaknesses. The episode also takes a detailed look at line-breeding, including its ability to concentrate the influence of a superior ancestor and the dangers of continuing too long until a family reaches the genetic "dead-end zone." The conversation continues into clan mating and rotational systems, showing how breeders can maintain genetic diversity and preserve an established family without continually introducing unrelated blood. Kenny explains record keeping, and the importance of retaining superior replacements. For more advanced breeders, the episode covers double mating, a specialized approach for sexually dimorphic birds, as well as recombinant reciprocal selection, a commercial strategy that allows breeders to produce valuable hybrids while protecting their pure breeding lines. Finally, Kenny and Nancy discuss grading and how disciplined selection can progressively transform a mongrel or crossbred population toward a more uniform family or strain. Throughout the episode, one principle remains consistent: Breeding methods are tools. A breeding program is the strategy that tells you which tool to use, when to use it, and when to stop. In This Episode Why breeding methods must be part of a structured breeding program Crossbreeding and the benefits and limitations of hybrid vigor The risks and proper use of outcrossing Backcrossing to capture traits from superior parents Inbreeding as a tool for intensifying genetics and exposing faults Line-breeding and the dangers of reaching the "dead-end zone" Clan mating and rotational systems for long-term preservation When and how to rotate cocks Selecting and retaining superior replacement birds Double mating and sexually dimorphic characteristics Recombinant reciprocal selection and commercial hybrid production Grading mongrel or crossbred populations toward a uniform strain Why planning several generations ahead matters The Founders Program and its role in creating, improving, and maintaining a strain Whether you are establishing a new family, improving an existing strain, or developing a long-term preservation strategy, this episode provides a framework for thinking about breeding at a much deeper level. Listen now and learn why the real advantage isn't knowing one breeding method, it's knowing which method to use, when to use it, and how to make every method work together as part of a deliberate breeding program. #PoultryBreeding #BreedingProgram #GeneticSelection #SelectiveBreeding #LineBreeding #Crossbreeding #Outcrossing #Backcrossing #Inbreeding #ClanMating #PoultryGenetics #StrainDevelopment Make sure to follow and watch our future shows.

    Unlocking Genetic Potential Through the Power of Vitamins with Peter Brown

    What does it take to turn a lifetime of breeding experience into a library of respected reference books? Unlocking fertility, hatchability, immunity, and Making of Great Bloodlines through smart vitamin supplementation. This is not about supplements, it's about providing the proper nutrition for your Brood Fowl and their growing and developing offspring. In this episode, we will talk about one of the most overlooked, but most powerful tools in poultry and gamefowl breeding: vitamins. Building on the work of Peter Brown, "The Chicken Doctor," we explore how water and fat-soluble vitamins influence everything from fertility to hatchability, growth, immunity, and long-term strain performance. You'll learn why many modern feeds fall short, how stress dramatically increases vitamin requirements, and which vitamins directly impact brood c**k fertility, hen hatchability, chick vigor, and embryo development. We also connect the dots between nutrition and genetics, revealing how proper vitamins helps breeders unlock the full potential of their bloodlines. Whether you are developing a family of gamefowl, improving your show birds, or strengthening the productivity of your backyard breeding flock, this episode offers practical, science-based guidance to help you produce stronger, healthier, more consistent birds, generation after generation. #PoultryNutrition #VitaminSupplementation #PoultryBreeding #BroodFowl #FertilityAndHatchability #ChickVigor #PoultryImmunity #EmbryoDevelopment #BloodlineDevelopment #GamefowlBreeding #ShowBirds #BackyardPoultry Make sure to follow and watch our future shows.

    Isolation and the Consequences of Gene Flow

    The Essential Factor in Creating and Improving a True Strain How controlling Gene Flow preserves traits, accelerates selective breeding, and reveals the same evolutionary forces that drive Speciation In this episode, we explore one of the most powerful, and often overlooked tools in selective breeding: Isolation. Whether breeders are working with livestock like Chickens, or Gamefowl, controlling who breeds with whom is what turns ordinary populations into reliable, high-performance strains. We break down why isolation is critical for preserving the traits breeders work so hard to develop. When chickens or gamefowl are allowed to mix freely with outside populations, valuable characteristics like performance and production, proper growth, and development, disease resistance, or calmer temperament can quickly become diluted. By preventing gene flow, breeders protect the genetic combinations that make a strain unique and valuable. You'll also learn how isolation increases genetic consistency, allowing a strain to produce predictable results generation after generation. When creating and improving a strain, predictability is everything, and isolation helps breeders fix desirable traits through careful selection and controlled breeding. The episode also talks about how isolation accelerates genetic improvement, protects against trait regression, and allows the development of specialized breeding lines that can later be crossed to produce high-performance hybrids. Finally, we discuss an often overlooked role of isolation - biosecurity. Diseases, parasites, and pathogens are powerful evolutionary pressures. When outside individuals, or the microbes they carry, enter a population, they can disrupt their immune system, alter selection pressures, and undo generations of careful breeding. In short, if selective breeding is the engine that drives improvement, isolation is the steering wheel that keeps it on course.  This episode connects the dots between genetics, breeding, and evolution to explain how controlling Gene Flow shapes both the strains we depend on today and the diversity of life itself.  #SelectiveBreeding #GeneticSelection #GeneFlow #GeneticIsolation #TrueStrain #PoultryBreeding #ChickenBreeding #GamefowlBreeding #BreedingProgram #GeneticsAndBreeding #Biosecurity #EvolutionaryBiology Make sure to follow and watch our future shows.

    Writing the Champion Row Series: Jeff Duguay on Books, Breeding, and Legacy

    What does it take to turn a lifetime of breeding experience into a library of respected reference books? In this episode, we sit down with poultry breeder, author, and publisher Jeff Duguay, the creator of the acclaimed Making It to Champion Row series. While Jeff is widely known for his expertise in exhibition poultry, this conversation goes beyond the birds and into the story behind the books. Jeff shares how a passion for raising chickens evolved into a mission to preserve knowledge, document breeding practices, and create resources for serious exhibition breeders. We explore the challenges of writing in a highly specialized niche, the research required to separate tradition from proven fact, and why authoritative books continue to matter in an age dominated by online information. From his breed-specific works on Modern Game Bantams, Old English Game Bantams, Silkies, Cochins, Belgian d'Uccles, Sebrights, Belgian d'Anvers, and Crested Breeds, Jeff discusses what judges really look for, how successful breeding programs are built, and the recurring patterns he has observed among champion birds. The conversation also examines the realities of publishing niche hobby books, the responsibility of preserving knowledge before it disappears, and the lessons Jeff has learned as both a breeder and an author. Along the way, he reflects on the books that challenged him most, the feedback that shaped his work, and what he hopes future generations of poultry breeders will gain from his writings. Whether you're an exhibition breeder, a poultry enthusiast, an aspiring author, or simply fascinated by how expertise is captured and passed on, this episode offers a rare look at the intersection of breeding, writing, and legacy. In this episode, you'll learn: How Jeff Duguay became an author and publisher The inspiration behind the Champion Row book series Why serious breeders still rely on books in the internet age The process of researching and documenting specialized poultry knowledge Common misconceptions about breeding and exhibition success What separates champion birds from the rest The challenges of publishing in a niche field Why preserving breeding knowledge matters for future generations The legacy Jeff hopes his work will leave behind Join us for a conversation about craftsmanship, documentation, and the enduring value of putting hard-earned knowledge into print. #JeffDuguay #ChampionRow #PoultryBreeding #ExhibitionPoultry #PoultryBooks #ChickenBreeding #HeritageBreeds #PoultryPodcast #LivestockPublishing #BreedingForExcellence #AuthorInterview #PreservingKnowledge Make sure to follow and watch our future shows.
