Ep 67Ep67 - A Coaching Call with Dereck
Today we are talking with Dereck, from Kentucky, and a member of the Breeders Academy. He wants to create a strain from the birds he already has on his farm, and is wondering if it's a good idea, and if so, how. In this episode, we start by evaluating the potentiality of his fowl, and walk him through the selection and breeding process. This is a good episode for most listeners and breeders, because we address many issues that can effect the success and progress of building and creating a new strain.

Ep 66Ep66 - The Buckeye Recovery Project with Don Schrider
Today we are talking with Don Schrider, who was instrumental in bringing back the Buckeye Chicken. A very special breed, that is not only an American Breed, but was created by a woman, Nettie Metcalf, from Ohio, in the early 1900's.

Ep 65Ep65 - Coaching Call with Kevin Neilson
In this episode, I help Kevin to develop breeding programs for each of his strains. He wants to make sure his is starting on the right foot, and making sure his is doing thing properly at the right time.

Ep 62Ep62 – Our Favorite Chicken Books
A question I get often from our members is, as a breeder, what books are best, and which books should I get first? In this episode, we are going to share some of our favorite books on chickens and chicken breeding. Although we have thousands of books in our library, there's a handful of books that are considered our go-to-books. 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. I also have a good collection of poultry nutrition and health care books. Although we have thousands of books in our library, there are always a handful of books that are considered our go-to-books. In this episode, we will be discussing our most used books, our favorite books. On the Breeders Academy, we have a page called "Most Recommend Books," so that our members can see what books exist, and which books they should add to their library. I believe you will find this episode extremely fascinating.

Ep 61Ep61 – Mother Nature and the Natural Order of Selection
EThis 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. I believe you will find this episode extremely fascinating. To listen to the show and sign up to our Free Breeders Bulletins, click this link. https://www.breedersacademy.com

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 51Ep51 – The Progeny will Prove the Worth of their Parents
Next to selection and knowing your strain really well, the progeny test may be the best tool we breeders have to determine the true value and worth of our brood fowl. In this episode, we will talk about why the progeny test is so important. And, why we believe this method is essential to creating and improving your strain.

EThis is a special episode. What better way to celebrate our 50th episode than to have my mentor on the show.

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.
