Join us as we discuss the truth about breeding programs, and why they are so important in the creation, improvement, and maintaining of a strain.

Everyone knows about outcrossing, backcrossing, inbreeding, line-breeding, and infusion. But, no one knows why they are doing it, or when they should do it. They think those methods are the means to the end, when in reality, they are only tools used in a larger, more complete breeding program.

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. We also took questions from the chat room.

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, should you create your own strain, or do you continue to bounce around trying to find great fowl? For me, I would rather create my own strain.

Have you ever wondered if you have what it takes to become a true breeder? Or, whether you are a true breeder right now? The truth is, there is a big difference between a true breeder and someone who breeds. Do you think of yourself as a true breeder? This can be subjective, depending on who you talk to. Actually, not everyone is a breeder, or should be a breeder. The truth is, there is a big difference between a true breeder and someone who breeds. Join us as we discuss this topic, and you can decide for yourself.

In this episode, we will discuss the most common disease and the most common problems every backyard breeder faces.

Join Kenny and Nancy Troiano, along with co-hosts Frank Bradley and Jeff Mattocks, as they discuss the pros and cons of breeding for Purity of Blood or for Hybrid Crosses. This is a topic that can be very controversial. Some say that breeding to create a pure strain is a myth. Some say only peddlers use crossbreeding. Who's right, listen in and make your own decision. This is a show you do not want to miss!

Have you ever wondered if you were wasting your time trying to create a strain? You’re not seeing the results you are looking for, or you’re not seeing progress from year to year? Well, this is a discussion you do not want to miss.
