  • Ep236 - Great Breeders Maintain a Zero-Defect Policy
    Have you ever wondered if you have what it takes to be a true breeder, or if you’re already on that path? The answer isn’t always clear—it’s subjective, and it depends on who you ask. But one thing is certain: there’s a significant difference between being a true breeder and simply someone who breeds. Some breeders practice ruthless culling, while others avoid it entirely. Many also don’t know what to cull for, especially when it comes to defects. They might not recognize a defect or they may not consider it important—until it’s too late and the entire flock shares the same flaw. Join us as we dive into this important topic, so you can decide for yourself what being a true breeder really means. Make sure to follow and watch our future shows.
