Bred to Perfection ·

2023/04/17

Most of the fowl today are hybrid crosses or mongrels. In fact, there are very few pure strains. The sad part is, most beginners are forced into starting with these types of fowl.

Ep146 - What Are the Benefits of Creating A Strain?

Bred to Perfection ·

2023/04/03

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,

Ep141 – Crossbreeding and the Recombination of Genes

Bred to Perfection ·

2023/01/16

I’ve always said that the Name Game is nothing more than the peddler’s playground, and they use crossbreeding to keep the Name Game alive. If the cross works, then they say it was a great cross. If the cross fails, then they say, cross them again, and again, and again. Thinking they are combining the traits of multiple bloodlines, to get the best of all worlds, all they are really doing is mongrelizing the breed, but yet we still attach useless names to them. The scary thing about this is that these

As a breeder, you have many tools that you can use to create and improve your strain. None are more important, or have the force to move your strain forward than that of Prepotency.
