As you will see, there is more to breeding than just putting two birds together. And, there’s more to breeding than just breeding “Best to the Best”. That’s why I created the Breeder’s Academy, to show new and established breeders a different way of breeding. Like Math, there are many ways to solve a math problem, just like there are many ways to breed chickens. But, in the Breeders Academy I show them how to put many different methods of breeding together and how and when to apply each method. This episode is packed with great information, and one you do not want to miss. I know you will enjoy this episode, and learn a lot too.

Ep97 – The Effects of Genetic Drift on your Fowl
In this episode of Bred to Perfection, we are discussing Genetic Drift, and the effect it can have on our strains. Genetic drift is a force of nature that contributes to the evolution of species, but can also have an effect on the evolution of our strains. In fact, it can change the direction of your strain with a blink of an eye through a sudden change in the number of birds within that strain, and change the frequency of their alleles over time. Your ability as a breeder, will and can determine what that strain will become. One thing can be certain, that strain will be different than they were before. There’s a lot of great nuggets of information that I know you will not want to miss.
