Culling

Ep157 – The Dangers of Defects

June 28, 2023 By Kenny Troiano

Join Kenny Troiano and Frank Bradley, as they talk about defects and why they are detrimental to the success and future of our strain, and why it’s important to recognize and cull all fowl expressing defects. The truth is, most breeders are not aware of half the defects that exist. It could be sitting right in front of them, and they would not see it. Are they just yard blind, or just unaware of what they are looking at, not knowing it’s, in fact, a defect. In this episode we will discuss just that. We will talk about many of the defects that exist, the importance of locating and recognizing these defects, and why it’s important to cull them. We will even talk about ways to improve a strain that is affected by defects. This episode is packed with great information, and one you do not want to miss. I know you will enjoy this episode, and learn a lot too.

The Breeders Academy is designed to help breeders like you to create higher quality strains. Breeding is both an art and a science, and I, Kenny Troiano, am devoted to helping you to increase your knowledge of breeding, advance your skills as a breeder, and to improve the quality and performance of your fowl.

If you are like so many, who are forced to start with hybrid crosses or mongrel flocks (usually a cock from one breeder and a hen from another breeder), this website is for you. No longer will you need to rely on other breeders.

I have a program, called the “Founders Program” that will show you step-by-step how to create a true family of fowl, even if you are starting with an established line or with mixed bloodlines. I also have many specialty courses that complement the Founders Program, and are designed to advance your knowledge of breeding.

Interested in learning the art and science of breeding? Good! - Join us at the Breeders Academy today! You have nothing to lose. You have our 30-day, money back guarantee.
