“THE THREE MOST DANGEROUS BREEDERS”
Welcome to the Bred to Perfection podcast, a show for the serious breeder. Join Kenny Troiano, and his wife, Nancy, as they talk about the breeding of gamefowl and chickens, and the issues that affect breeders like you.
Whether you are breeding and raising Hatch, Sweaters, or Kelsos, or you prefer Reds over Greys, or pure vs. crossed, we can help you to advance your strain and your fowl to the next level.
Breeding gamefowl and improving our brood fowl has become both an artform and a science, and knowing genetics and the law of inheritance has change, not only the way we think about breeding, but how we breed our fowl. It is our hope that the Bred to Perfection podcast will motivate you to take the next step in creating the fowl of your dreams.

Episode Show Notes:
In this episode of Bred to Perfection, we will talk about the 3 most dangerous breeders. These are breeders who use breeding practices that are hazardous to the breed as a whole.
These include:
- Those who believe in combining the traits of two separate and distinct “breeds”, such as American Games and Aseels, each having contrasting characteristics and traits, hoping that traits from both breeds will be expressed in the offspring.
- Those that thinks they can mix the traits of two separate strains, such as Hatch and Sweater, and produce offspring expressing the best of both strains. They attempt this by breeding two separate strains of the same breed, but one is known for its superior performance ability, while the other has exceptional conformation of body. It is their belief that when the two strains are crossed,and the traits of each strain are combined, they will produce offspring having superior performance ability and an exceptional conformation of body.
- And those who believe that Performance overrides all other factors. They place no importance on conformation of body, color of plumage, or temperament. Even defects are tolerated if the bird performs with excellence?This type of breeder believes in the idea that winning is everything, and preaches the “As long as they’re winning, nothing else matters.”
This is a problem that concerns me very much, as it should concern you as well.
Breeders who think and practice in this manner will never reach the statue of Master Breeder,
nor will they gain the respect of their peers. Without the proper knowledge and knowhow, to put these principles to practice, they will never reach the highest levels of success.
