keeping VS breeding

[Thomas Lamprogiorgos]

If you are against them, why ask about them then?

I am not against using them.
I had them for more than 20 ys.
But heritage ones make a better paternal or maternal stock.
Hybrids are CHILDREN bred for production.
They lack the parents' qualities.

Alright, I'm done here then. I don't understand the point of your post.

Polls help people understand the opinion of the public.

I voted for keeping both the 2 of them, because they both have different production qualities. Speeders and Marathon Runners.

I understand the purpose of a poll. Since you started the poll, I assumed you were asking for advice or opinions about a future venture you wanted to undertake, whereas it appears you have something else in mind.

In the present I just keep a male turkey. It is a broad breasted bronze or a greek bronze. Maybe a greek bronze, because it seems to be too small and it avoids human contact.

I also help friends of mine breeding the greek crested, because I selected very carefully the most balanced strains.

In the future, (Let's hope that the financial crisis in Greece stops and my country stops to be a third world country), I will

1. breed the Dutch Bantam giving emphasis on quality breeding, emphasizing on vaccinating, avoiding inbreeding, hatching in a natural way
2. stop breeding the greek crested and give my stains to responsible breeders, without receiving money
3. keep heritage and hybrid females for eggs in a big range of sizes, colors, shapes
4. keep broilers for roasting
5. keep other poultry (ducks, turkeys, geese, quails, guineas) for eggs and meat.
