Ep 76Ep76 - Biosecurity Basics with Dr. Rodrigo Gallardo

In this episode, we are talking with Dr. Rodrigo Gallardo about the practice and importance of biosecurity. Most Breeders don't understand biosecurity, and the importance of keeping your bird safe from the exposure of disease. Some of us have strains that we've been keeping for over 30 years. Losing our birds to disease would be a travesty. What we are going to talk about today, if you follow it, will save your flock, and protect those valuable and irreplaceable strains. It's so much easier to prevent disease than it is to try and cure a sick bird. In most cases birds that were sick become chronic and never fully recover. And disease can spread very quickly throughout the yard. There's a lot of good information packed into this episode that I know you do not want to miss.

These are the books we check out first, and are the most valuable in our collection. As a breeder and teacher of breeding, I have collected a wide range of books. I have books on genetics and poultry genetics. I have books on evolution, biology and evolutionary biology. I have books on ornithology and bird related paleontology books. And of course, I have books on chicken and gamefowl breeding, and animal breeding, as well as books on Incubation and chick care, and poultry husbandry and poultry production.

Ep 61Ep61 – Mother Nature and the Natural Order of Selection

E

This episode is a recording from 22 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.

Ep 52Ep52 – Coaching Call with William Vogl – Poultry Farmer

I've taught the art of selective breeding to many types of breeders, but the breeders I find extremely fascination are the small-scale commercial breeders. They are faced with a monumental problem, how to create a strain that can meet their production needs at a lower cost, do well in their particular environment, and have a high degree of constitutional vigor and good health. To make matters even more difficult, they want to create a strain that can improve each year without adding new, outside blood. In this episode, I will help Will Vogl of the Vogl Homestead Farm from Colorado, a small-scale poultry farmer, to turn his mixed flock of fowl into a productive and profitable family. No matter what fowl you raise, I believe you find this interesting and beneficial. To listen to the show and sign up to our Free Breeders Bulletins, click this link. https://www.breedersacademy.com

Ep 49Ep49 - Coaching Call with Karen Johnson

How to downsize and maintain a viable strain. The question is - how to reduce the number of brood fowl, and still maintain a viable flock? How to breed, raise, and produce just enough offspring to keep the family going, well into the future? Reducing the size of your flock can have many benefits, but can be problematic as well. For example, if you do this properly, you can actually improve the quality and performance, and improve the uniformity and overall health of your strain. You will also improve the purity and lower their genetic diversity. On the other hand, if you do this wrong, you can destroy your strain, and send them in the wrong direction. Yes, the consequence can be high, and take many years to fix the bloodline.

Join Kenny Troiano and his wife Nancy, as they talk about the importance of starting with the best fowl possible. Although, most of us are not able to get great fowl, and must start with what we have at the time, it is beneficial to start with the best we can get, or the best birds we have right now, in our yards.
