Quote: Good overall info but it's for dogs. Still overall quite applicable. Quote: This info is for poultry. Quote: This linebreeding chart is obviously for rabbits but was provided by a poultry breeder as "the principles are the same". Quote: Back to poultry again. Quote: More...

Quote: Quote: Thanks for the suggestion Bo Garret. Here's what I found when I checked that site. Possibly some very good info for anyone willing to pay to access. Best wishes.

Might be relevant if we could get some experts on linebreeding or just breeding in general onto this thread to state their preferred methods. I'll see if I can get someone to come comment. Or just find some links with some info or plans laid out so people can review it and the varying merits of...

It's a shame it descended into some personal comments, my intention wasn't to start any debate with that simple observation of fact I made... I think all this was more of a misunderstanding than an actual debate, or bickering, and I think tridentk9 is still being misunderstood here. Anyway, it...

As far as I understand, it is a question, and a legitimate one at that. How is mammalian breeding 'very different' when having accounted for the aspects tridentk9 already took stock of? 3riverschick, I'd have thought, and some others on this thread/site should surely be able to answer that...

I appreciate the gesture, but there's no need for apology. I'm the first to admit I'm still very much a learner, you probably have a lot more experience than I do. But experience isn't a linear thing, two people can take two different roads without converging for a fair while, doesn't...

I wasn't saying it was related to the original topic, but that it's one of the most likely-looking explanations behind the topic we diverted into, which was the question of why younger parents would produce poorer offspring --- or rather the sharing of differing experiences supporting/not...

Overall I agree on most points there, not all, but it appears that you have misunderstood and thought I was attributing the whole discrepancy to epigenetics... I wasn't. I know they're hugely influential but I'm still not sure why I see the results I do, but it's one of the likeliest potential...

My experience has been different to yours, obviously, it's directly contrary to what you're stating, but each to their own, I guess. My experience doesn't necessarily make yours invalid and neither does yours make mine invalid. There have been many studies done on various species detailing the...

The quality of the genetics both parents pass on is heavily influenced by their state of health and age, i.e. you've probably heard that older animals are more likely to pass on genetic defects. Younger parents have less to contribute to their offspring and this is particularly visible from the...

Agree about not linebreeding EE's or any birds with ear tuft genetics, or any other lethal genes... Obvious problems there. ;) Asides from that, sounds like the OP has some beautiful birds chosen for their projects. Good luck with them. Interesting info Levy, I think I know where you got it...

The other two repliers gave some good answers but generally if you want to begin linebreeding you should secure multiples from the same family, ideally, removing the worst individuals and keeping the best, because the less chooks you start with the more inbred they get, and faster too. Ideally...

:/ lol it's quite simple, you allow descendants to breed with their own progenitors. ;) I take it though that your question is intended more along the lines of 'how do I achieve my intended outcome via linebreeding'? (Correct me if I'm wrong). But nobody can help you with that when we don't...
