Bred to Perfection

What are the benefits of buying someone else's strain vs creating your own strain? I’m a firm believer that it’s better to create your own strain, then to rely on others to do it for you. Anytime you purchase new birds you are taking a chance. Because the fact is, there are more peddlers than true breeders, and most of the birds available are not pure, they are nothing more than hybrid crosses or mongrels. To make matters worse, many breeders only sell their culls. If you’re not one of their family or friends, most likely you are not going to get good birds. THE BIG QUESTION IS, should you create your own strain, or do you continue to bounce around trying to find great fowl? For me, I would rather create my own strain. Join Kenny Troiano and his co-hosts, Frank Bradley as we discuss the benefits of creating your own strain, and the issues that affect breeders like you.

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’ll also talk about the difference between hybridization and mongrelization, and 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 an episode that you do not want to miss.

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.

In this episode, we talk about the various methods of breeding, and the difference between breeding methods and breeding programs. Ask yourself, are you using the right method of breeding for the right purpose, at the right time? If not, this episode is for you. Many breeders are not only selecting their brood fowl improperly, but they’re using the wrong breeding methods, at the wrong time. Their results are never what they expected, or they are short lived. Learn which methods to use and when, and why it’s best to use a breeding program, that consist of various breeding methods, rather than one method all the time. If you would like to learn more about breeding methods, breeding programs, and the Founders Program, Join us at the Breeders Academy. Also, we are aware that topics, such as these, are controversial, and some say that breeding to create a pure strain is nothing but a myth. We will show you that not only is it not a myth, but it’s very possible. This is a show you do not want to miss! Join us on Thursdays, @ 6pm PST or 9pm EST. See ya there!

This episode is a recording from 24 years ago, with my mentor, Tony Saville. We talk about natural selection and artificial selection, and its relationship to the breeding of chickens and gamefowl. I know you will find this very informative. This is a recording we did for an article I was writing. Tony Saville was showing me the relationship between artificial selection and natural selection. And, by selecting like Mother Nature, we could improve our fowl's natural instincts. There are some of us that know about the general nature of natural selection, but one might ask how does it apply to our chickens? Well, listen in and find out. I believe you will find this episode extremely fascinating. We specialize in the breeding of gamefowl and chickens, and other breeding related topics.

Join Kenny Troiano, Nancy Troiano and Frank Bradley, as they discuss what it takes to create, improve and maintain a pure strain.” Last week we talked about the Genetic Factor, and its role in the creation of strains. In this episode of Bred to Perfection, we are going to talk about the many similarities between selective breeding and evolution, and by understanding the mechanisms of evolution, you can not only improve the way you breed your fowl, but create new forms for better functions. Many are using breeding practices that are creating the results they are looking for. In fact, it’s holding them back. Kenny and Frank are here to show there is a better way. Also, we are aware that topics, such as these, are controversial, and some say that breeding to create a pure strain is nothing but a myth.

Today, we are talking with Dr. Rodrigo Gallardo, a Poultry Veterinarian at UC Davis, about the concerning effects of Mycoplasma/CRD. We will address many of the misconceptions and beliefs related to this disease. And not only show you why it’s important, but what you can do to prevent it. It’s sad, but there are many breeders who are dealing with this disease, who don’t know their birds have it, or think it’s ubiquitous, and there’s nothing they can do about it.
