Ep49 - Coaching Call with Karen Johnson

How to downsize and maintain a viable strain.


The question is - how to reduce the number of brood fowl,
and still maintain a viable flock? How to breed, raise,
and produce just enough offspring to keep the family going, well
into the future?


Reducing the size of your flock can have many
benefits, but can be problematic as well. For example,
if you do this properly, you can actually improve the quality and
performance, and improve the uniformity and overall health of
your strain. You will also improve the purity and lower their
genetic diversity.


On the other hand, if you do this wrong, you can destroy
your strain, and send them in the wrong direction. Yes,
the consequence can be high, and take many years to fix the
bloodline.
