I have a number of great breeding programs, which are available for members of the Breeders Academy, but you can’t get started unless you can select the proper brood fowl. Your ability to select the right cock and hen for breeding will determine your strains success.
Evolution of the Modern-Day Fowl
By what process has the small Junglefowl been converted into the breeds that we see today? What brought about the change that enables fowl, such as the American Gamecock of today to have the form and function, and the tenacious spirit of a modern-day gladiator? By what miracle has the American Game, become one of the most beautiful of all fowls, having various colors of feather, including top-knots, muffs, and large flowing tails? Well, natural selection had something to do with it, at least in the beginning, but the answer is simple, selective-breeding.
Why I stopped Vaccinating and using Medications?
When I look back at that time now, I realize that I had every medication on the market available on my shelf. I would even buy a particular medication, just in case my chickens would get a particular disease. I also vaccinated my birds for all the common diseases of the time, to make sure I was covered. I was trying to stay ahead of the game, and avoid all diseases. I was without a doubt, running a chicken hospital.
Interview with Heather Thelen, Feed Store Owner
This episode is great for all chicken and poultry raisers, gamefowl and chicken breeders, and other feed store owners. We can all learn a lot by Heathers example. She runs a great store, and she supports her customers and her community. Heather is an asset to everyone she meets.
Ep38 – Q&A with Kenny and Nancy Troiano
As you know, our Bred to Perfection podcast has many forms. We feel this gives our listeners variety and makes the Bred to Perfection show more interesting. We have the main show, where Nancy and me talk about breeding and breeding related topics, we have our Chicken Fun Zone, where we chat, off the cuff, about chickens and have lots of laughs. We even have episode with our Breeders Academy members, which we call the Breeders Roundtable, and we plan to share our Members Coaching Calls with our listeners as well.
