Pure vs Cross (Fan Favorite Rerun)
Bred to Perfection
03/01/21 • 54 min
Join Kenny and Nancy Troiano, as they discuss the pros and cons of breeding for Purity of Blood or for Hybrid Crosses. This is a topic that can be very controversial. Some say that breeding to create a pure strain is a myth. Some say only peddlers use crossbreeding. Who's right, listen in and make your own decision. This is a show you do not want to miss!

Ep195 - Selection: both an Art and Science
Bred to Perfection
05/13/24 • 54 min
Most breeders don’t know the importance of Selection. The truth is, selection is the difference between success and failure. You cannot create or improve a strain without some knowledge of selection.
However, when you talk with breeders, even experienced breeders, it’s amazing to see how little they know about the proper structure of the bird, the conformation and type of the birds, and the defects that exist. They select and breed for the wrong things, and then they wonder why their fowl are not progressing as they hoped. Their only resource is to add or infuse outside blood.
Join us as we discuss the powers of selection, and the processes that can turn a mongrel flock into a true family and strain. This is an episode that you do not want to miss.
We specialize in breeding, and breeding related topics. This includes proper selection practices and the use of proven breeding programs. It is our mission to provide our followers and members a greater understanding of poultry breeding, poultry genetics, poultry health care and disease prevention, and how to improve the production and performance ability of your fowl.
If you are interested in creating a strain, or improving your established strain, you are in the right place.
We also want to encourage you to join us at the Breeders Academy, where we will not only help you increase your knowledge of breeding and advance your skills as a breeder, but improve the quality and performance of your fowl.

The Live Show Ep9 - WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF CREATING A STRAIN?
Bred to Perfection
07/22/21 • 105 min
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.
We also took questions from the chat room.

The Live Show Ep29 - Difference Between Seed Fowl and Foundation Fowl
Bred to Perfection
11/29/21 • 110 min
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.

Ep71 - Breeding for Fins rather than Feathers
Bred to Perfection
09/14/20 • 105 min

Ask yourself, are you using the right method of breeding for the right purpose? If not, this episode is for you.

Learn which methods to use and when, and why it’s best to use a breeding program, that consist of various breeding methods, then one method all the time.
