Join Kenny Troiano and Frank Bradley, as they discuss the topic surrounding Station of Leg and Body Carriage. In the past, very few breeders understood the term conformation of body.

2024/01/22

Join Kenny Troiano and Frank Bradley, as they discuss the misconceptions surrounding “who is most important, the cock, or the hen.” The discussion about who is more valuable, the cock or hen, is as old as the chicken itself. It has been a huge debate for as long as I can remember. Everyone has an opinion, but who is right? Many say it’s the cock. But when you look at it more closely, you see how superficial their reasoning actually is. It’s based on old wive’s tales and superstitions. It’s not

2024/01/15

This episode is about “The Misconceptions about Breeding.” These are popular misconceptions that tend to hold most breeders back. And can prevent you from creating anything special or superior or great. When I talk with the average breeder, I find that they are very reliant on “Old Wives Tales” and “Superstitions.” Nothing is based on empirical evidence or scientific facts. I recently did a coaching call with one of my members of the Breeders Academy, and most of his questions were based on many of

Culling can be the greatest tool for most breeders, and controversial for other. But the truth is, most don’t know what to cull, when to cull and why they should cull. Just go to a breeder’s farm and look around. Once you are aware of all the defects or diseases that exist, you soon see how faulty most farms are, even on farms of so-called great breeders. The question is, why? As we know, culling is the most difficult part of breeding for most breeders, and therefore the most avoided practice. This
