In this episode, we dive deep into the essentials of selective breeding, unveiling 15 rules to help you perfect your breeding program and build stronger, healthier strains. Whether you're breeding chickens, gamefowl or another type of livestock, following these guidelines can fast-track your success and avoid common pitfalls.
We start by emphasizing the importance of selecting only the best Seed Fowl—healthy, vigorous birds that are true to their breed and variety. From there, we discuss the value of matching the right cock to the hen and the need for shared genes and traits to improve and advance your breeding efforts.
Learn how to breed for the complete package: health, vigor, breed characteristics, temperament, and performance. We talk about the importance of hatching as many as you can manage, while ensuring that each generation improves upon the last. You'll also learn the importance of culling hard without being too ruthless, and why only the standouts should make the cut.
Avoid the temptation to breed backwards—no reintroducing old traits or breeding from ancestors with faults. We cover why introducing outside blood or experimenting with your foundation line can set you back, as well as the benefits of staying close to nature and following an organized breeding program.
Finally, we tackle the crucial aspects of disease resistance, record-keeping, and patience, while reminding you that progress in selective breeding may be subtle, but always worth the effort. If you follow these rules, your strains' genetic sustainability and progression will be in good hands. Tune in and get ready to improve your knowledge and your breeding skills!
Tune in to learn how to create and improve your strain for future generations!
Make sure to follow and watch our future shows. We plan to dive deep into the world of breeding and genetics, nutrition and health management, and provide essential tips, so you too can create high quality strains. Whether you're breeding domestic chickens, gamefowl, or various types of livestock, this show is for you.
Join us on Bred to Perfection Live, Friday’s at 6pm PST or 9pm EST on YouTube, as we discuss the benefits of creating your own strain.
See ya there!
