Ep83 – Preparing for the Breeding Season

By

In this episode, I will give you a number of useful tips, that will help get your breeding season started on the right foot. I had a great mentor who believed that preparation was the prerequisite to success. As a breeder, I took that to heart, and it has served me well for years. 

So, where do we start? It begins with constant care and good husbandry practices 365 days of the year. This includes: 

  • Providing good nutrition. 
  • Selecting for good health and vigor. 
  • Culling ruthlessly, all defective, sick, or substandard birds.
  • And, keeping your yard and farm clean and organized.

In this episode we will also discuss topics, such as:

    • The importance of cleaning up the farm
    • Preparing the brood pens
    • Preparing the broody houses 
    • Preparing the incubators and brooders
    • Eliminating and controlling the rodent and wild bird population
    • Preventing predators from eating the eggs, chicks and growers
    • Providing the proper nutrition (changing winter feed to breeder feed) 
    • Select the proper brood fowl
    • Ensuring good health and how to prevent disease
    • Why you shouldn’t over clean 
    • Why practicing good farm management is important
    • The importance of record of record keeping 

 

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.
