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.

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!

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?

Join Kenny Troiano, Nancy Troiano and Frank Bradley, as they discuss what it takes to create, improve and maintain a pure strain.” In this episode of Bred to Perfection, we are going to talk about the many similarities between selective breeding and evolution, and by understanding the mechanisms of evolution, you can not only improve the way you breed your fowl, but create new forms for better functions. Many are using breeding practices that are creating the results they are looking for. In fact, it’s holding them back. Kenny and Frank are here to show there is a better way. 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. We will show you that not only is it not a myth, but it’s very possible. This is a show you do not want to miss!
