Well, that's one way to do it, lol.

For me, I like to see credentials before I put any great amount of trust in someone's information. This is the Internet, literally anyone can come on and profess to be an expert—so I have to admit I am kind of wary of anyone giving advice on controversial topics, because I dislike being 'taken'...

I'd love to see your birds . Edited by Staff

No, I borrowed a copy from someone that had one. There's still a seller in England with legal rights to print and another in Australia. Ebay had a few copies in the past but I wasn't quick enough to secure one.

I was able to locate Carefoot's book. I found it interesting and for me it really 'turned the lights on' as to what basic genetics is about. It did a great job (I think) of taking the already published technical jargon and cutting it down to my level, and it referenced Hutt's book, which you...

Thank you so much! I think I have The Mating and Breeding of Poultry printed out, but not fully read yet. I bookmarked those links and I will add them to my reading list. I appreciate it.

I'll go do some hunting, then. Thank you for that tip off; I had done a cursory search but figured it would probably follow the pattern of all the other books I tried to find free or cheap online and not exist.

Do you think it would be printable, or would the providers frown on that? I quite prefer actual copies as well but my wallet prefers virtual. :lol:

No, I'm in North America. I got lucky and found one on resale for a low price. That is why I got it now instead of waiting a while—if I let that one go I would have had to pay the full price. All other listings were quite a bit more expensive. I did wonder if it was a scam, even though it...

I ordered Avian Physiology tonight. I got a used copy of the 4th edition because it is $120 cheaper than any format of the newer.

Thank you, and I appreciate the warning. I am willing to take the time to slog through that type of stuff if it gives clarification on the topic. I probably should have added that when I read that I thought it was off the wall, but I have a (perhaps unfortunate) tendency to try and find the...

Good to know. 6th edition?

:gig Don't worry, I don't play that dirty. No, you didn't say it, but that was the impression I got from your posts here and in general across the forum. The first one off the top of my head is Creative Poultry Breeding by W.C. Carefoot, which I am currently trying to get my hands on. Thank...

I realise I probably came on a bit strongly in the last post. My apologies—someone should take my keyboard away when I am a crank like today. Which term? That much I agree with for sure. I am not asking for a handout; only for how not to be those you look down on for not following the already...

You say that we are the idiots for being taken in by information printed, yet you bemoan that we do not wish to learn. How are we supposed to know the 'one true way' from the garbage when researching or asking questions? We are not born with everything in our heads.... common sense can take you...

:rolleyes: I'll make sure to tell Michael Gilbert that he doesn't know anything and his show records don't mean anything either, just because you said so. Should I say that to Walt and Matt too?

"Experts" is merely a catch-all word for those that can educate a larger part of the general public, and I believe those I talk with are experts—their show records prove their methods. They are not claiming any mastery themselves. I have a poor opinion of those that think they are some special...

I am not talking about public pages, but rather private pages for breed clubs or associations.

Facebook, somewhat. Getting ahold of a phone number might also be possible if you're smooth enough at the nationals ;)
