Great video. Very helpful

Awesome thank you so very much for this information that I been searching for God bless you abundantly thank you

More power...thank you for the great lecture

I agree working about one trait at a time, but with a caveat, I think they all have to be free from defects and in general they need to be decent birds, or with clan mating, the one family drags the next down.

Absolutely great video thank you for sharing your knowledge fantastic. Muchas gracias

@@oldwaysrisingfarm after watching this whole series I’m surprised that you aren’t already on a few of the Facebook pages that I’m on. Several seem right up your alley. My free range birds have a lot of the traits that you are breeding for but guess what? I rarely find their eggs. They roost in the barn but I think the raccoons find most of the eggs in the woods. Maybe if I locked them up half the day more would lay in the barn. I think a lot of those traits keep them half wild.

@@RobG7aChattTN I have tried; since it is my own youtube page they all kick me off for "self promotion" any time I try and share something, so I just gave up on facebook and left the platform. For some reason people thing there is big money in youtube and money makes people stupid. If you are interested, I will share that after 2 years and 197 videos youtube has provided me exactly 0 dollars! But, most facebook groups still slap me away for trying to promote a business when I try and share information that way. I work a retail job to support this teaching effort, and don't have time to make the videos and then go and re-type all this stuff on a facebook page separately, so I am just done with them.

@@oldwaysrisingfarm yeah, I got banned from one of the most popular chicken groups because someone asked if I sold birds and I said, “not yet” and they took that to mean some day I would sell birds so I got blocked because selling birds is not allowed.

I had one KZread video blow up and it got over a million views so I was allowed to apply for monetization. By the time it was approved views had dropped and I ended up making something like $200. Now I make about 48¢/month but haven’t gotten a check in the last 2 years because it hasn’t reached $100 yet.

Great video! 17:31 cockfighting vs Roman's Colosseum or today's football just humans used for 'entertainment'

I really want to talk about inbreeding which in it's self is not bad. But being a history buff, I have articles of chicken breeders from the early 1900's that advocate strongly for keeping your line pure, no outside blood. But inbreeding is cumulative and the negatives are also cumulative. So in the early days, when many chicken breeds were developed as composites of other breeds, there was much room for inbreeding, but one hundred years later, we have to be so much more careful. It's really not a big deal, I line breed and clan mate to achieve my goals, but you have to be mindful, the biggest thing we see with chickens that are getting too inbred is poor fertility, but one outcross can fix that, but it also can mess up your birds, so your source for outcross stock is very important. Great presentation!

I don't think I really understand the test cross. When you run into a trait you want to select against, how do you know if it is a simple Mendelian trait that you can successfully eliminate in this way?

@@liesecarey9494 Well, for simple mendelian traits a test cross is a cross between an individual with unknown genotype and one with a known homozygous recessive condition. If the offspring are approximately 50/50 dominant VS. Recessive phenotypes then the unknown parent is recessive, if the unknown parent is homozygous then all offspring will be as well. Then, you use thus information to decide weather or not to cull the parent being tested; all test cross offspring are typically considered culls.

@@liesecarey9494 Now, knowing of a trait is simple mendelian. The best case senerio is to consult the literature and get an answer. If the trait of interest is not in the literature think it through a little...traits that fall on a sliding scale like size and growth rate are usually pollygenetic, truth that are "either or" are typically mendelian. But these are guidelines with exceptions and you may just have to experiment.

Is there anyway i could contact you. I need help if you have the time thanks!

Sure, the "about" tab went away in a recent KZread "style update" now you look just under the header on the channel homepage and click the bolded "...more" to get the about info. It is "improved" because it is now more confusing...sarcasm intended, lol. If that does not work the channel gmail address is the channel name with no caps or spaces; if I type it here as an email address it will attract spam bots which is why it hides behind a captcha in the about info.

I have racing pigeons and would love to talk with you about a breeding strategy

Sure, I have no experience with pigeons specifically, but would be happy to help you sort ideas in a general sence... but it would probably be better to use the email in the "about" tab than the chat box.

I’m sorry where is the about tab?

Go the home page of this or any youtube channel, there are a series of tabs just above the list of videos: Home--Videos--Playlists--Community--About--Search. Those are pretty standard, some larger channels can customise them a bit so there is some variation from channel to channel. The channel info and contact emails are found in "about", just before the search icon.

I don't know of one, my knowledge of it comes from passing mentions in a variety of other references. But, then, I have never specifically tried to find such a book, as my only interest in them comes from wanting to cross some of their physical traits into other docile lines.
