WELCOME TO THE BREEDERS ACADEMY
(Breeding Programs/Courses/Lesson Plans/QuickStart Guides)
As a Member of the Breeders Academy, we will teach you how to create a new strain from unrelated birds or crosses, how to maintain your strain well into the future, and how to improve your strain each and every year.
Each month we will expand your knowledge by adding new Programs, Courses, and Lesson Plans. We will provide valuable QuickStart Guides to make sure you get started on the right foot.
It is our goal to provide new and valuable information, each and every month, so you will never again need to rely on other breeders to provide you fowl, so you can save valuable time and money. We achieve this by progressing your knowledge and understand of selective breeding, advancing your skills as a breeder, and helping you to improve the quality of your fowl.
Join us, and start your journey,
