In the past, very few breeders understood the term conformation of body. All they knew or cared about was station of leg. Today, things have changed a lot.

January 22, 2024 08:30 - 50 minutes - 76.8 MBJoin Kenny Troiano and Frank Bradley, as they discuss the misconceptions surrounding “who is most important, the cock, or the hen.” The discussion about who is more valuable, the cock or hen, is as old as the chicken itself.

But when you look at it more closely, you see how superficial their reasoning actually is. It’s based on old wive’s tales and superstitions. It’s n...
Fan Favorite Rerun – The Misconceptions of Breeding with Tony Saville (Ep101)
January 15, 2024 08:30 - 1 hour - 126 MBThis episode is about “The Misconceptions about Breeding.” These are popular misconceptions that tend to hold most breeders back. And can prevent you from creating anything special or superior or great.

I recently did a coaching call with one of my members of the Breeders Academy, and most of his questions were base...

You can’t create a strain using poor management practices. And you can’t create a strain when dealing with a poor environment. There are many factors you will need to consider, b...

In this episode, we will talk about what constitutes success, and whether that success is worth you time, money and effort. Breeding and creating a strain is not for everyone. It takes work.

Ep175 - The Importance of Culling
November 06, 2023 08:30 - 1 hour - 146 MBCulling can be the greatest tool for most breeders, and controversial for other. But the truth is, most don’t know what to cull, when to cull and why they should cull. Just go to a breeder’s farm and look around. Once you are aware of all the defects or diseases that exist, you soon see how faulty most farms are, even on farms of so-called great breeders. The question is, why? As we know, culling is the most difficult part of breeding for most breeders, and therefore the most avoided practic...

Ep167 – The Name Game and the Percentage Game
September 11, 2023 07:30 - 45 minutes - 70 MBThe title says it all. The Name Game has been used for many decades, and for many reasons, but we are never going to improve our fowl, or the breeders who breed them, until we stop using old names of strains that don’t exist anymore. It’s also a big reason why many breeders play the Percentage Game. They use the Name Game and Percentage Game to place greater value to birds that no longer represent their breed. The sad truth is, it’s turning a great breed into nothing more than a mongrel b...
Ep166 – Breeding, Genetics, and Creating a Strain
September 04, 2023 07:30 - 1 hour - 112 MBBreeding and creating a strain is governed by 3 important laws, such as the environment, nutrition, and the traits they inherit. In other words, genetics. However, just the idea of genetics can be intimidating for many new breeders, and some veteran as well. Many even avoid genetics, mostly because it can seem confusing and difficult to understand, and they don’t know how to use it in their breeding programs. It is my hope that we can show you, not only why genetic is important, but also how...

Ep164 – The Environment, and its influence on Genetic Inheritance
August 21, 2023 07:30 - 1 hour - 95.2 MBThere is a lot of confusion in this area of breeding. So much so, that many breeders are not able to produce high quality strains. They purchase birds from a reputable breeder, and are confused when the fowl they produce are not like the original breeder’s fowl. We’ve all seen it, strains change when they are moved to a different location. The question is, are these changes temporary or permanent? And, what can we do about it? The environment can have a direct effect on the phenotype of y...

July 31, 2023 07:30 - 50 minutes - 76.4 MBIn this episode of Bred to Perfection Live, we will discuss sublines, and why they are so important for the creation and improvement of your strain. We have mentioned sublines in our podcasts many times, but we still get questions about sublines and why they are so important. Let’s see if we can shed some light on this very important practice.

Ep160 – Difference Between Seed Fowl and Foundation Fowl
July 24, 2023 07:30 - 56 minutes - 84.3 MBThere’s a lot of confusion in this area. I see so many breeders calling their Foundation Fowl “Seed Fowl”, and calling their Seed Fowl “Foundation Fowl.” To make matters worse, they skip any and all regards or reference to the stage in the middle, the Transitional Stage, which I call my Transitional Fowl. It is my hope that by clearing up the description and meaning of the three stages, you will better understand their function and purpose throughout your breeding program. This is a show you...
Ep159 – OBTAINING THE RIGHT SEED FOWL
July 17, 2023 07:30 - 39 minutes - 60.8 MBWhen creating a strain, next to acquiring the right knowledge and experience, there’s nothing more important than getting the right Seed Fowl. Starting with fowl that have many faults, is problematic at best. Can it be done. Yes, I’m a firm believer that you can create a strain from any cock and hen. But, the length of time it will take, and what they will ultimately turn out to be, will be the big question. By starting out with the best Seed Fowl possible, you are shortening the time it ...
