Bred to Perfection

There is a lot of confusion in this area. I see so many breeders calling their Foundation Fowl “Seed Fowl”, and calling their Seed Fowl “Foundation Fowl.” To make matters worse, they skip any and all regards or reference to the fowl in the middle, the fowl in the Transitional Stage, which I call my Transitional Fowl. It is my hope that by clearing up the description and meaning of the three stages, you will better understand their function and purpose throughout the Founders Program.

Bred to Perfection present, the Troiano Family’s First Christmas Special!

We hope this episode brightens your day. If there were a time to laugh a lot, this is it. Join the Troiano Family as they recite their version of “The Night Before Christmas,” that they call “The Night Before Chickmas.” And, Tawny sings her version of Jingle Bells – that she calls, “Farm Bells and Smells.” And best of all, you do not want to miss their version of “The Twelve Days of Christmas.” This is Christmas, Troiano Style, a wild and funny journey to the world of chickens and St. Nick. Ho-Ho-Ho, Cluck-cluck-cluck, a jingle we will go!

If there were a time to laugh a lot, this is it. Not only is it Christmas time, but it’s time to say goodbye to 2022. In this episode, you get to know more about the Troiano’s Christmas traditions, and some of their favorite Christmas movies. We hope this episode brightens your day.

This year’s topics include:

• Crap! - My chickens are cold outside - chicken sickles?
• All I want for Christmas is more chickens?
• Naughty or nice Chicken Farm - Chicken Feed or Coal?
• Hell’s Bells – it’s cold out there!
• Jack Frost nipping at our Beaks
• Who Drank my Eggnog?

Thanks for joining us on this special time of the year.

We hope you have a Merry Christmas and a happy new year!

In this episode, Kenny Troiano helps one of our members of the Breeders Academy, by discussing how to best use the Standard in the selection of her brood fowl and for improving her strain. Breeding methods that will take her strain to the next level, and they also talk about how to properly measure improvement each generation.

Have you ever wondered if you have what it takes to be a true breeder, or if you’re already on that path? The answer isn’t always clear—it’s subjective, and it depends on who you ask. But one thing is certain: there’s a significant difference between being a true breeder and simply someone who breeds. Some breeders practice ruthless culling, while others avoid it entirely. Many also don’t know what to cull for, especially when it comes to defects. They might not recognize a defect or they may not consider it important—until it’s too late and the entire flock shares the same flaw. Join us as we dive into this important topic, so you can decide for yourself what being a true breeder really means.

Make sure to follow and watch our future shows. We plan to dive deep into the world of breeding and genetics, nutrition and health management, and provide essential tips, so you too can create high quality strains. Whether you're breeding domestic chickens, gamefowl, or various types of livestock, this show is for you.

Join us on Bred to Perfection Live, Friday’s at 6pm PST or 9pm EST on YouTube, as we discuss the benefits of creating your own strain.

See ya there!
