Ep101 - The Misconceptions of Breeding

Old Wives’ Tales and Superstitions that Hold us
Back


This episode is about “The Misconceptions about Breeding.” These
are popular misconceptions that tend to hold most breeders back.
And can prevent you from creating anything special or superior or
great.


When I talk with the average breeder, I find that they are very
reliant on “Old Wives Tales” and “Superstitions.” Nothing is
based on empirical evidence or scientific facts.


I recently did a coaching call with one of my members of the
Breeders Academy, and most of his questions were based on many of
the misconceptions we see around breeding. I spent most of that
call clearing up those misconceptions. And, he’s not alone. These
are misconceptions that are shared by a majority of breeders,
beginners and veterans alike.


After that call, I gave it some thought. And decided that we
should do an episode of Bred to Perfection, and address them. So,
it’s my intention and hope that we can clear up many of these
misconceptions, and change the way we understand breeding, and
improve the way we breed and raise our fowl.


I understand that this is going to be very controversial, and is
going to rub many breeders the wrong way. It’s going to challenge
what you think you already know, and ask you to think
differently, and hopefully we can change the way you breed your
fowl.


Special Note: Most of what we are going to talk about will be
about American and Old English Games, but can be applied to other
breeds as well.
