Fantastic Information!! A+ A+ A+

This podcast is filled with great information on about everything you need to know about raising and keeping your poultry in top condition. It doesn’t even need to have feathers for this material to relate to many other things. I’m grateful for the information I have taken from here and hoping too take it to the next level by joining the Academy soon. Thanks John-Woodside Loft🥚🐣🐥

Amazing!!

I’ve recently gotten into poultry and I am hoping to begin breeding them next year. This podcast is literally EXACTLY the information I wanted for starting my breeding program. I exhibit and breed purebred dogs and nearly all of the principals behind the poultry breeding can also be applied to my family of dogs. This podcast is invaluable for anyone seriously breeding any species of animal!

Great Information!

Great podcast for learning difficult to find information from a knowledgeable experienced breeder. Focus is on game birds but I find it very translatable to other breeds as well.
