I’m a firm believer that it’s better to create your own strain, then to rely on others to do it for you. Anytime you purchase new birds, you are taking a chance, because the fact is, there are more peddlers than true breeders, and most of the birds available are not pure, they are nothing more than hybrid crosses or mongrels.

To make matters worse, many breeders only sell their culls. If you’re not one of their family or friends, most likely you are not going to get good birds.

THE BIG QUESTION IS, should you create your own strain, or do you continue to bounce around trying to find great fowl? For me, I would rather create my own strain.

I know you will enjoy this episode, and learn a lot too.
