  • Why Our Birds Need Extra Attention at this Time of Year

    When do our birds require the utmost care and consideration? The answer is during the molt. This crucial period is marked by significant stress as birds undergo a complex process of feather renewal, muscle replenishment, and bone repair. Both cocks and hens experience this challenging phase, making it an essential aspect of their overall health.

    While many view molting as a negative phase, it actually presents an opportunity for improvement. As a breeder, it’s vital to understand how to navigate the molt effectively and use it to your advantage. A common pitfall for breeders is failing to grasp the nuances of the molt, which can hinder efforts to create, improve, and maintain a robust strain.

    Proper management of the molt is crucial; neglecting this process can significantly impact the upcoming breeding season and the quality of offspring. Join us as we delve into the intricacies of the molting season and explore strategies for achieving optimal results.

  • Success depends on you changing your mindset about health and disease prevention.

    As you know, I really like talking to breeders of all kinds. Breeding is breeding, and we can learn so much from great breeders, no matter the animal they are breeding.

    I too raise and breed pigeons, and having the opportunity to Interview a pigeon breeder has been on my bucket list for a long time. I was recently introduced to one of the top pigeon breeders and racers (Frank McLaughlin). The best part is when it comes to health care and disease prevention, I couldn’t have done better than Frank McLaughlin. He thinks a lot like me.

    In this interview, we will talk about why it’s best to stay away from antibiotics and medications. We will discuss a very interesting concept on improving the strains health, by challenging the strains immune system. And, we will compare pigeon breeding with chicken and gamefowl breeding.

    I know you will find this interview interesting, informative and educational. So, sit back, take notes, and enjoy the show with Frank McLaughlin.

    Frank McLaughlin Bio: Frank is from Massachusetts, and is one of the leading Racing Pigeon Breeders in the country.

  • This is an interview I did with Brian Reeder, on April 2, 2023. Since then, we did 4 more interviews, discussing the many aspects of chicken genetics and color of plumage. All these interviews will be available for our members of the Breeders Academy.

    The first interview was originally a 5 hour talk, and we talked about:

    Inbreeding and Hybrid Vigor Quantitative Inheritance and Polygenic Traits The importance of Autosomal Pheomelanin The Breeding and Genetics of Whites and Progressive White The Breeding of Blues and Red Piles And so much more.

    Although the majority of this discussion was made available to our members of the Breeders Academy, we are making this segment on “The Origins of the Domestic Chicken” available for you, our listeners.

    How did this conversation happen? One of my members of The Breeders Academy contacted Brian, and asked if he was interested in doing a show with me on poultry genetics, and color genetics, and he said yes. So I reached out to Brian, to set up an interview, and this is a small portion of that recording.

    Understand that this recording was not originally intended for the public. Brian and me were just having fun talking chickens and genetics, and geeking out and sharing information. Letting out this particular phone call recording to the public was a total afterthought. The quality of this recording is a bit rough, but the upcoming episodes on genetics are much better.

    Brian Reeder is a well known writer on poultry, and has done extensive research on Domestic Fowl and their Genetics. His books and articles have been based upon his experiences working with Domestic Fowl. And through the years he has collected important data, data that we can use today, in breeding and perpetuating higher quality fowl. He is also the author of two books on poultry genetics, “An Introduction to Color Forms of the Domestic Fowl” and “An Introduction to Form and Feathering of the Domestic Fowl.”

    With Brian's permission, I am making this segment of the recording (The Origins of the Domestic Chicken) available to our listeners. There’s a lot of great information in this recording that I know you will enjoy and learn from. I learned a lot too. In fact, Brian changed many of my old paradigms.

    Don’t miss out on this essential episode!

    So, sit back, take notes and enjoy the show with Brian Reeder.

    We will include links to his website, and the books he has written, in the show notes. His website on poultry is found at http://www.brianreederbreeder.blogspot.com .

    His books on poultry genetics are both easily accessible through Amazon.

  • Join Kenny Troiano, as he talks about the interesting world of dog. In each topic, he will go deep into the art and science of breeding dogs.

    Becoming a reputable breeder requires more than just a love for dogs—it demands a profound understanding of genetics, evolutionary biology, animal husbandry, and the commitment to maintaining proper breed standards. From understanding the difference between "Phenotype" and "Genotype" to having the courage required to create a true family.

    Learn the importance of selection and culling, where producing a large number of dogs, some being culls, is essential to uncovering the true standouts in a lineage. Discover why pedigree alone does not define a dog's worth, and why the “Name Game” should be avoided in favor of improving essential traits.

    He talks about the myths and truths surrounding bloodlines and hybrid vigor, and debunks common misconceptions about purity versus hybridization. Gain a greater understand of inbreeding, COI (Coefficient of Inbreeding), and the delicate balance required to maintain genetic diversity, while striving for uniformity, consistency and improvement.

    Whether you're a beginner breeder, dreaming of starting a new line, or a seasoned breeder aiming to refine an established one, Kenny provides invaluable insights and practical advice. He also talks about the challenges, triumphs, and dedication needed to breed and create a true family or strain.

    This is a show that you do not want to miss!

    Topics:

    Understand the breed Experience, as a breeder, is important, but Knowledge of breeding is required Husbandry practices - what should you know Commitment to one family Courage to do what’s necessary Patience and Perseverance The importance of Selection and Culling It’s important to know the difference between “Phenotype” and “Genotype.” Must be willing to produce culls to find the standouts Make sure your animals are worthy of breeding The Numbers are Necessary One animal should never represent the foundation of a whole family Avoid the Name Game - it’s the peddlers playground Truth about bloodlines - purity of blood, or mongrelization? The offspring always prove the worth of the Parents Percentage Game is not real Don’t breed to extremes The Offspring must be better than the parents - Or you are not improving the family. Understand that “Nothing is Perfect” Maintaining hybrid vigor is not a good thing. The Myth about hybrids and outcrosses The problem with reintroducing old blood Inbreeding and Managing the COI Performance traits and gameness are never improved in one mating or cross Consistency and uniformity is only improved or maintained through inbreeding How long does it take to create a family?

  • Ep200 – The Powers of Prepotency or the Allure of 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. This is a show you do not want to miss!

  • Join Kenny Troiano and his co-hosts, Nancy Troiano and Frank Bradley – as they talk about the Art of Selective Breeding, and what it takes to create a strain. We address issues that affect breeders, just like you. In this episode of “Bred to Perfection Live,” we are going to discuss questions that I have asked my followers and members on my Facebook Page to contemplate, and today we are here to answer those questions. This is a show you do not want to miss!

    We specialize in breeding, and breeding related topics. This includes proper selection practices and the use of proven breeding programs. It is our mission to provide our followers and members a greater understanding of poultry breeding, poultry genetics, poultry health care and disease prevention, and how to improve the production and performance ability of your fowl.

    If you are interested in creating a strain, or improving your established strain, you are in the right place.

  • These are practices that have been used for years, but are not based on good science or good selective breeding practices, but never producing favorable results. These practices, or beliefs, arose suddenly, shared as if they were true, and adopted by others who were desperately looking for answers too. Not knowing whether they would work, and lacking any other ideas or ways of moving forward, they followed these practices and beliefs hoping they would give them the results they were looking for.

    The problem is, when a large number of people are saying the same thing, the beginner feels, “then they must be true.” So they follow this advice, and keep following it even though it doesn't produce favorable results. They just keep following it, and acting as if it were true. This is a show you do not want to miss!

  • This has been a controversial topic for as long as I can remember. When I was a kid, what I noticed was, the people who said there were no such thing as a Pure Strain, were the same people who were always adding new blood. They were only breeding best to best, and their fowl looked mixed. On the other hand, the breeders who did believe in creating a Pure Strain, were the same breeders who would never think of adding new blood, and their fowl were great representatives of the breed, and were very uniform and consistent. This is a mind set that has been passed down, generation after generation. Some just follow without questions, some have tried but failed, and other just don’t care. But they all share the same problem, none of them know how to create and maintain a pure strain. In this episode, we will discuss why Purity of Blood is important, and hopefully encourage you to become a real breeder, and create your own strain. This is a show 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.
