Ep97 – The Effects of Genetic Drift on your Fowl

In this episode of Bred to Perfection, we are discussing Genetic
Drift, and the effect it can have on our strains. Genetic drift
is a force of nature that contributes to the evolution of
species, but can also have an effect on the evolution of our
strains. In fact, it can change the direction of your strain with
a blink of an eye through a sudden change in the number of birds
within that strain, and change the frequency of their alleles
over time. Your ability as a breeder, will and can determine what
that strain will become. One thing can be certain, that strain
will be different than they were before. There’s a lot of great
nuggets of information that I know you will not want to miss.
