Great information thank you God bless you abundantly

Does that mean we should only inbreed( breeding blood related birds) every time,if we don't get any issues and we are improving continuously?

Comrade Troiano

Peter was great! Very informative.

Thank you thank you always educational informative may God bless each and every one abundantly

Nice rooster and hen..

Can you you talk about immune system of a rooster when inbreed?

👏

Where do I find information on your breeding system

100% 👍🏻

Yes sir

Nobody likes your conten6

🤣

Lovely green sheen

How do I get a color like the color of the feathers of the Lakenfelder chickens by selection and hybridization?

Frank McLaughlin, great man, great birds.

Perfect breeding methods

Wow,,,,,this is it the hidden vault was open but it is not totaly open hehehe thanks a lot kenny and specialy to you nancy ,love it the topic

Perfect

Breed dogs, but always enjoy listening to Kenny’s view on breeding and am thinking about starting chickens too (mainly because how much chickens me and my dogs eat lol) Always grade A. Appreciate the knowledge. Definitely going to get the membership…

Yes… Sir

Crumble or ground grains

Exactly

Thanks for the video Kenny. Very Nice black 👍🏻

General Patton, you’re never a bother and it’s good to ask questions. But we can go in depth in the Breeders membership roundtable.

General Patton, those are great questions but ask those questions next week when we do our membership roundtable thanks 😊

General Patton, those are great questions but ask those questions next week when we do our membership roundtable thanks

That's too funny 👍🏻

Well said and true.

what is the genetic history of the Silkie ? I know its from China and it was highly prized as an eating bird and specifically bred for its broodiness . It was basically a surrogate broody to raise more chickens and ducks .

FASCINATING !!

Kenny, what are your thoughts about instead of spraying disinfectants that kill all bacteria in the surroundings, what if we spray probiotics? The concept is to spread soldiers that fight bad bacteria. what do you think?

Love your videos

Does Brian have a youtube channel or any social media?

In this episode, we're sharing a snippet from an extensive five-hour conversation I had with Brian Reeder. Initially, this discussion was intended to remain private, but with Brian's permission, we decided it would be valuable to share it with you, our listeners. Additionally, we’ve recorded several insightful episodes on poultry breeding and genetics exclusively for Breeders Academy members, which I think you'll find fascinating. If you want to delve deeper into Brian's expertise, I encourage you to join us at Breeders Academy. And, check out Brian Reeder’s books that are available on Amazon.com.

Very good video. Thanks

This is very, very interesting. Thank you, Kenny

I love chickens. I love history, give me both I'm all ears!!!!

Becoz in other countries they only care about winning! Purest to all has no value if the set family doesn't win a percentage they set

Thanks for the great interview.

I think that Brian Reeder needs to read the following because his dates for the domestic chicken contradict the latest known scientific research - " Major new international research reveals new evidence about when, where, and how chickens were domesticated 7 June 2022 New research transforms our understanding of the circumstances and timing of the domestication of chickens, their spread across Asia into the west, and reveals the changing way in which they were perceived in societies over the past 3,500 years. An international team of researchers, including members of the PalaeoBARN team here at the School, have found that an association with rice farming likely started a process that has led to chickens becoming one of the world’s most numerous animals. They have also found evidence that chickens were initially regarded as exotica, and only several centuries later used as a source of ‘food’. Previous efforts have claimed that chickens were domesticated up to 10,000 years ago in China, Southeast Asia, or India, and that chickens were present in Europe over 7,000 years ago. The new studies show this is wrong, and that the driving force behind chicken domestication was the arrival of dry rice farming into southeast Asia where their wild ancestor, the red jungle fowl, lived. Dry rice farming acted as a magnet drawing wild jungle fowl down from the trees, and kickstarting a closer relationship between people and the jungle fowl that resulted in chickens. This domestication process was underway by around 1,500 BC in the Southeast Asia peninsula. The research suggests that chickens were then transported first across Asia and then throughout the Mediterranean along routes used by early Greek, Etruscan and Phoenician maritime traders. Professor Greger Larson said: “This comprehensive re-evaluation of chickens firstly demonstrates how wrong our understanding of the time and place of chicken domestication was. And even more excitingly, we show how the arrival of dry rice agriculture acted as a catalyst for both the chicken domestication process and its global dispersal.” During the Iron Age in Europe, chickens were venerated and generally not regarded as food. The studies have shown that several of the earliest chickens are buried alone and un-butchered, and many are also found buried with people. Males were often buried with cockerels and females with hens. The Roman Empire then helped to popularise chickens and eggs as food. For example, in Britain, chickens were not regularly consumed until the third century AD, mostly in urban and military sites. The international team of experts re-evaluated chicken remains found in more than 600 sites in 89 countries. They examined the skeletons, burial location and historical records regarding the societies and cultures where the bones were found. The oldest bones of a definite domestic chicken were found at Neolithic Ban Non Wat in central Thailand, and date to between 1,650 and 1,250 BC. The team also used radiocarbon dating to establish the age of 23 of the proposed earliest chickens found in western Eurasia and north-west Africa. Most of the bones were far more recent than previously thought. The results dispel claims of chickens in Europe before the first millennium BC and indicate that they did not arrive until around 800 BC. Then, after arriving in the Mediterranean region, it took almost 1,000 years longer for chickens to become established in the colder climates of Scotland, Ireland, Scandinavia and Iceland. The two studies, published in the journals Antiquity and The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA, were carried out by academics at the universities of Exeter, Munich, Cardiff, Oxford, Bournemouth, Toulouse, and universities and institutes in Germany, France and Argentina."

Wow awesome interview so much insight on poultry history

I have some hens that eat the eggs how could I get rid of that problem cause it's a line I had a long time

If you study Red Pyles, they need an infusion of BBR to keep the red colour intensity, so breeders have a pen of quality BBR's to cross in (in a diluted form) the BBR genetics. So inbreeding is important as a tool, but in special cases, you might need to outcross. Red Pyles bred true tend to have the red fade over generations.

Happy Birthday Nancy! I hope grumpy is taking you out for a nice diner!

Are they eating the full pellet, is it the all flock?

Happy birthday Nancy..
