I have been “raising ” chickens for going on 15 yrs now. The last 10 or 12 yrs i have been trying to breed chickens instead of just raising them. I have a vision of blues deep in my mind every since i was a kid. These last 7 yrs have been a prime focus to them. When i felt i was starting to hit a brick wall i discovered the academys pod cast on youtube an have been hooked every since. Hearing bits a pieces of what i needed to hear b4 i distroyed my bloodline by adding so called “fresh blood”. The line i have is not tainted but needs major fine tuning. Im stoked to be a member an now i can get the proper education needed. All the people i ever been around is so secretive about how they operate in breeding i had to learn my self by trial an error . Now that ends an the fun an learing begins. Thanks to everyone at the academy for being here an spreading wisdom
