Ep134 – Buying a Strain vs Making a Strain

Bred to Perfection ·

2022/10/31

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

Ep131 - THE ART AND SCIENCE OF SELECTION

Bred to Perfection ·

2022/10/03

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
