Consider Goals for Your Flock Breeding
When starting a breeding program, it is crucial to define your goals for your flock. Your goals will determine the type of birds you should choose and where to source them from. If you have limited capacity and want to focus on quality, it is advisable to start with a smaller number of high-quality birds. Alternatively, if you want to gain knowledge and experience in selection and have a larger flock, starting with a larger number of chicks and selecting the best ones can be a good approach. Knowing your goals will enable you to find suitable sources and determine the level of selectivity necessary for your breeding program.
