Join Kenny Troiano and Frank Bradley, as they talk about defects and why they are detrimental to the success and future of our strain, and why it's important to recognize and cull all fowl expressing defects. The truth is, most breeders are not aware of half the defects that exist. It could be sitting right in front of them, and they would not see it. Are they just yard blind, or just unaware of what they are looking at, not knowing it's, in fact, a defect. In this episode we will discuss just that. We will talk about many of the defects that exist, the importance of locating and recognizing these defects, and why it's important to cull them.

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, very few know 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.

Join Kenny and Nancy Troiano, along with co-host Frank Bradley, as they discuss the pros and cons of breeding for Purity of Blood vs Hybrid Crosses. This is a topic that can be very controversial.

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. There are many challenges when creating a strain. And, it can take some time to make significant progress, but there are also times when you are better off to abandon your strain and start over with new blood. In this episode, we will talk about 10 reasons why you should consider the fact that you may be wasting your time. And when it's time to start with new Seed Fowl.

In this episode, we address a belief many breeders share, and that is, "it's better to introduce new blood rather than to create their own strain." Listen in as we discuss why adding and infusing new blood is not the answer, and that there is a better way.

Most of the fowl today are hybrid crosses or mongrels. In fact, there are very few pure strains. The sad part is, most beginners are forced into starting with these types of fowl. So, what can you do? You can start by taking steps toward transforming your bad birds into a good strain. In this episode, we talk about those steps, so that you can begin the process of creating a true strain. We specialize in the breeding of gamefowl and chickens, and other breeding related topics.

Today, we are talking with Dr. Rodrigo Gallardo, a Poultry Veterinarian from UC Davis. In this episode, we will talk about Fowl Pox, what causes the disease, how to prevent infection, and what to do if your birds get infected. This is an episode of Bred to Perfection that you do not want to miss. Along with Fowl Pox, Dr. Gallardo talks to us about his new program, "The Gamefowl Wellness Program." This is a vaccination program for the prevention of Newcastle's Disease. Mainly for residence in California. If this program is successful, it means we will have a product available in all our feed stores to deal with the looming threat of Newcastle's Disease. Topics of discussion include: • We talk about the Causes of Pox • We talk about how the disease is spread • Incubation time? • We talk about the Symptoms you can expect with Pox • We talk about Recovery time • We talk about the Rate of Mortality that can be expected. • How to Prevention Fowl Pox • How to treat your fowl for Fowl Pox I would like to encourage you to listen to these episodes' multiple times.

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.

I've always said that the Name Game is nothing more than the peddler's playground, and they use crossbreeding to keep the Name Game alive. If the cross works, then they say it was a great cross. If the cross fails, then they say, cross them again, and again, and again. Thinking they are combining the traits of multiple bloodlines, to get the best of all worlds, all they are really doing is mongrelizing the breed, but yet we still attach useless names to them. The scary thing about this is that these peddlers are no longer hiding in the shadows. They are out where everyone can see them. In fact, they have YouTube channels and videos, and pretend to provide information, but their true aim is to sell birds. In this episode we are going show why crossbreeding is not the answer, and creating a true stain is always the best approach. This is a show you do not want to miss!

Ep139 - Prepotency and the False Allure or Hybrid Vigor One is temporary, the other is long lasting, but which is best? As a breeder, you have many tools that you can use to create and improve your strain. None are more important, or have the force to move your strain forward than that of Prepotency. The problem is, for many breeders, Hybrid Vigor gets all the credit. The truth of the matter, Prepotency and Hybrid Vigor are both incredible forces of nature, but are on opposite sides of the same coin. One is long lasting, and is passed down to future generations, while the other is short lived and can't be reproduced or repeated. Listen in as we discuss the Powers of Prepotency, or the Allure of Hybrid Vigor, and how you can use these forces to improve the quality and performance of your strains. We specialize in the breeding of gamefowl and chickens, and other breeding related topics. This includes the proper use of breeding programs.

The Misuse and Abuse of Antibiotics, and their Consequences – The question I have for you is, are you using Medications, Antibiotics and Vaccinations Properly? Our Special Guest is Dr. Rodrigo Gallardo – He's a Poultry Veterinarian, from UC Davis. We all know how beneficial antibiotics and vaccinations can be. If used properly, and for the right reasons, these medical miracles can accomplish great things. However, many are using these so-called miracle drugs as an end all or fix all to all their medical and disease related problems. They see a sniffle or sneeze, and they immediately shoot a half cc of Tylan 200 into the breast, and believe they are good to go. Instead of giving their birds a proper treatment plan, one that is accurately diagnosed, they rely on old wives' tales, such as - "At the first signs of sickness, inject them with antibiotics, and to make sure they never get sick, vaccinate the entire flock for every known disease." What's their overall plan? To use the shotgun approach by over medicating. But truth be told, they are creating a bigger mess than they realize. One that is going to affect them and their chickens later down the road. Today, we are talking with Poultry Veterinarian, Dr. Rodrigo Gallardo about the use and misuse of Antibiotics and Vaccinations, and the consequences of these practices. We're also going to talk about how to use them properly, and when to avoid them. It is my hope that you will gain a greater understanding of their uses, and the consequences of doing it wrong.

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 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.

Crossbreeding is a very common method of breeding, but many are using it for the wrong reasons. The truth is, there are some unintended consequences from using this method, many of them are long lasting, and could be detrimental to the breed. In this episode we will discuss what's good about crossbreeding, but also what's not so good about crossbreeding. We'll also talk about the difference between hybridization and mongrelization, and what others don't want you to know. Hopefully, this episode will change the way you look at crossbreeding, and change the way you breed your fowl. This is an episode that you do not want to miss.

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 progressing as they hoped. Their only resource is to add or infuse outside blood. Join us as we discuss the powers of selection, and the processes that can turn a mongrel flock into a true family and strain. This is an episode that you do not want to miss.

In this episode, we talk about the various methods of breeding, and the difference between breeding methods and breeding programs. Ask yourself, are you using the right method of breeding for the right purpose, at the right time? If not, this episode is for you. Many breeders are not only selecting their brood fowl improperly, but they're using the wrong breeding methods, at the wrong time. Their results are never what they expected, or they are short lived. Learn which methods to use and when, and why it's best to use a breeding program, that consist of various breeding methods, rather than one method all the time. If you would like to learn more about breeding methods, breeding programs, and the Founders Program, Join us at the Breeders Academy. Also, we are aware that topics, such as these, are controversial, and some say that breeding to create a pure strain is nothing but a myth.

This episode is a recording from 24 years ago, with my mentor, Tony Saville. We talk about natural selection and artificial selection, and its relationship to the breeding of chickens and gamefowl. I know you will find this very informative. This is a recording we did for an article I was writing. Tony Saville was showing me the relationship between artificial selection and natural selection. And, by selecting like Mother Nature, we could improve our fowl's natural instincts. There are some of us that know about the general nature of natural selection, but one might ask how does it apply to our chickens? Well, listen in and find out. I believe you will find this episode extremely fascinating. We specialize in the breeding of gamefowl and chickens, and other breeding related topics.

The Breeders Academy – From the Members point of view. In this episode of Bred to Perfection, we decided to talk with our members of the Breeders Academy. We thought it would be a good idea to bring them on the show to talk with us about what it's like to be a Breeders Academy Member, and what the website has done for the them. If you are thinking about becoming a Breeders Academy Member, and are interested in creating and improving your strain, this episode is for you.

Crossbreeding is a very common method of breeding, but many are using it for the wrong reasons. The truth is, there are some unintended consequences from using this method, many of them are long lasting, and could be detrimental to the breed. In this episode we will discuss what's good about crossbreeding, but also what's not so good about crossbreeding. We will tell you what others don't want you to know. Hopefully, this episode will change the way you look at crossbreeding, and change the way you breed your fowl.

One is temporary, the other is long lasting, but which is best? As a breeder, you have many tools that you can use to create and improve your strain. None are more important, or have the force to move your strain forward than that of Prepotency. The problem is, for many breeders, Hybrid Vigor gets all the credit. The truth of the matter, Prepotency and Hybrid Vigor are both incredible forces of nature, but are on opposite sides of the same coin. One is long lasting, and is passed down to future generations, while the other is short lived and can't be reproduced or repeated. Listen in as we discuss the Powers of Prepotency, or the Allure of Hybrid Vigor, and how you can use these forces to improve the quality and performance of your strains. We specialize in Gamefowl Breeding, Chicken Breeding, and breeding related topics. This includes Proper Selection, Poultry Genetics, Poultry Health Care and Disease Prevention, Poultry Nutrition, and Improving the Production and Performance of your fowl.
