Ep231 - Breeder or Multiplier: Which One Are You?

Are you a true breeder—or are you just multiplying birds?
Understanding the difference could be the key to transforming
your breeding practices in the right direction. In this episode
of Bred to Perfection, Kenny Troiano, founder of the Breeders
Academy, breaks down what it takes to be a true breeder and why
that distinction matters.


Whether you're a newcomer or a seasoned breeder, we'll explore
the essential traits, practices, and mindset that set true
breeders apart from those simply aiming to increase their flock
numbers. From understanding genetics to keeping detailed records,
you'll discover the science and dedication behind building a
healthy, thriving strain.


What does it really mean to breed with intention? How do you
ensure long-term success in your breeding program? We'll cover:


The key characteristics of a true breeder, including passion,
purpose, and a love for your birds.

The difference between breeding for improvement vs.
multiplying without a clear plan.

Practical advice for improving your strain, including
selection, genetics, and breeding methods.

How patience, record-keeping, and constant learning can
elevate your breeding practices.



By the end of this episode, you’ll have a clearer understanding
of where you stand in the world of breeding and what it takes to
move from "multiplier" to "breeder."
