Ep167 – The Name Game and the Mongrelization of a Breed

September 11, 2023 By Kenny Troiano

The 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They use the Name Game and Percentage Game to place greater value to birds that no longer represent their breed.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 breed.

The Name Game and the Percentage Game is a peddler’s playground, and it’s holding back many Breeders, especially our beginners. The big question is, what can we do about it? 

Join us as we talk about this very controversial subject, and discuss issues, and hopefully come up with ways to reverse this trend.

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.

We specialize in the breeding of gamefowl and chickens, and other breeding related topics. This includes the proper use of breeding programs.

Also, it’s our mission to provide our members a greater understanding of poultry genetics, poultry health care and disease prevention, and how to improve the production and performance ability of their fowl.

If you are interested in creating a strain, or improving your established strain, you are going to enjoy this show.

We also want to encourage you to join us at “The Breeders Academy,” where we will not only help you increase your knowledge of breeding, advance your skills as a breeder, but improve the quality and performance of your fowl.

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. We also took questions from the chat room.

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.
