I’ve always said that the Name Game is nothing more than the peddler’s playground, and they use crossbreeding to keep the Name Game alive. If the cross works, then they say it was a great cross. If the cross fails, then they say, cross them again, and again, and again.

Thinking they are combining the traits of multiple bloodlines, to get the best of all worlds, all they are really doing is mongrelizing the breed, but yet we still attach useless names to them.

The scary thing about this is that these peddlers are no longer hiding in the shadows. They are out where everyone can see them. In fact, they have YouTube channels and videos, and pretend to provide information, but their true aim is to sell birds.

In this episode we are going show why crossbreeding is not the answer, and creating a true stain is always the best approach. This is a show you do not want to miss!

We are also going to talk about the effects of the medications and wormers have on our fowl. In short, we will learn how to protect our fowl, and how often we should use wormers.

Ep139 - Prepotency and the False Allure or Hybrid Vigor

One is temporary, the other is long lasting, but which is best?

As a breeder, you have many tools that you can use to create and improve your strain. None are more important, or have the force to move your strain forward than that of Prepotency. The problem is, for many breeders, Hybrid Vigor gets all the credit. The truth of the matter, Prepotency and Hybrid Vigor are both incredible forces of nature, but are on opposite sides of the same coin. One is long lasting, and is passed down to future generations, while the other is short lived and can’t be reproduced or repeated.

Listen in as we discuss the Powers of Prepotency, or the Allure of Hybrid Vigor, and how you can use these forces to improve the quality and performance of your strains.

In this episode, we will give you a number of useful tips, to get you ready for the upcoming breeding season. 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. The breeder who prepares himself, and his birds, will be the successful breeding. This is an episode you do not want to miss.
