Ep246 - What Are the Obstacles to Becoming A True Breeder?

Our continuing theme throughout this series has been, "Are You a True Breeder or a Multiplier?" There are many benefits in becoming a true breeder, and we discussed this in the last episode, however, not everybody can become a true breeder, due to what it takes to make that happen. So, what are the obstacles?  The list is long, but here are some of the points we will address: ·      How do we find the right information?  ·      How do we find the right Mentor?  ·      And, how do we find the right Seed Fowl?  Information, especially good information, is harder to find than ever before, even though we have the internet. Finding mentors who know what they are talking about is getting harder, because most are stuck on old wives' tales. And, Seed Fowl are getting harder to find, because most birds don't represent their breed, and are nothing more than mongrels. And then there are the peddlers.  The sad truth is that there are very few true breeders today. In fact, there are more peddlers than there are true breeders. They use medications to hide weakness to disease, they play the name game and percentage game, and they say they have pure fowl, but only sell crosses. What are we to do, when there seems to be so many obstacles in our way to becoming a true breeder? That is exactly what we will be talking about in this episode.
