  • Fantastic Information!! A+ A+ A+

    This podcast is filled with great information on about everything you need to know about raising and keeping your poultry in top condition. It doesn’t even need to have feathers for this material to relate to many other things. I’m grateful for the information I have taken from here and hoping too take it to the next level by joining the Academy soon.

    Thanks John-Woodside Loft🥚🐣🐥

  • Really is the only podcast of its kind.

    An absolute wealth of knowledge with a focus on science and evolutionary understanding of poultry and game fowl genetics. The format is very upbeat, great conversation, everyone brings something special to the show, if your not a serious breeder you may be offended from time to time. Top notch. My only wish is that they spoke more of blue genes, would love an episode just on that.

  • Helpful but repetitive

    I was finding this podcast helpful

    It ends up just being repetitive with a lot of re run episodes being listed as a “bonus” rather than a new fresh episode, it’s a podcast we can re run an episode whenever we like!

  • The best!

    This podcast is amazing! I find myself listening to it all the time, the information that is put out by Kenny and the rest of the crew is high quality and I would (and do) recommend it to anyone that breeds livestock not just chickens.
