Ep231 - Breeder or Multiplier: Which One Are You?


Listen Later

Are you a true breeder—or are you just multiplying birds? Understanding the difference could be the key to transforming your breeding practices in the right direction. In this episode of Bred to Perfection, Kenny Troiano, founder of the Breeders Academy, breaks down what it takes to be a true breeder and why that distinction matters.

Whether you're a newcomer or a seasoned breeder, we'll explore the essential traits, practices, and mindset that set true breeders apart from those simply aiming to increase their flock numbers. From understanding genetics to keeping detailed records, you'll discover the science and dedication behind building a healthy, thriving strain.

What does it really mean to breed with intention? How do you ensure long-term success in your breeding program? We'll cover:

  • The key characteristics of a true breeder, including passion, purpose, and a love for your birds.
  • The difference between breeding for improvement vs. multiplying without a clear plan.
  • Practical advice for improving your strain, including selection, genetics, and breeding methods.
  • How patience, record-keeping, and constant learning can elevate your breeding practices.

By the end of this episode, you’ll have a clearer understanding of where you stand in the world of breeding and what it takes to move from "multiplier" to "breeder."
