#INBREEDING
Effect on inbreeding and disadvantage
What is inbreeding?
Inbreeding is the process of mating genetically similar organisms. Successful inbreeding is simply called line-breeding.
Can You Mix Different Breeds of Chickens?
Different breeds of chickens can coexist in what is commonly referred to as a mixed flock. A lot of consideration is needed before you can bring together a variety of chicken breeds. Watch out for the behavior of some chickens to know how to group them. Some birds can be docile and calm while most may show dominant personalities.
Once you take this factor into consideration, you may not proceed with combining two different breeds with different characteristics. If you do, expect a lot of conflicts within your mixed flock.
There are three sorts of breeding:
Cross-breeding: individuals of different breeds or lines are used to mate.
Pure breeding: the same breed or lines are used to mate.
Inbreeding: two close relatives mate. The closer the relation, the higher the inbreeding.
Can you breed brother and sister Gamefowl?
In gamefowl breeding, the types of sibling mating that are commonly discussed in lectures and seminars are the mating between full siblings or full brother to sister and the mating between half siblings.
Disorders From Inbreeding
Reduced fertility.
Reduced birth rate.
Higher infant and child mortality.
Smaller adult size.
Reduced immune function.
Increased risk of cardiovascular disease.
Increased facial asymmetry.
Increased risk of genetic disorders.
Do chickens have problems with inbreeding?
Using within-line selection on a small poultry population is expected to increase the rate of inbreeding in the population, and the increase in rate of inbreeding may lead to undesirable effects such as a decline in performance and loss of vigor.

BREED THEM PURE
Game fowl breeding requires commitment, knowledge, and hard work, make sure you have the right bloodline.
To produce a pure breed of game fowl or fighting cocks, you need a pure brood cock and brood hen, for example their bloodline is both sweater. Breed them together to produce a pure sweater bloodline offspring.
What makes a brood cock or brood hen prepotent?
So you have a potential brood cock in hand. Nice looks, great fighting ability. How then would you judge the cock’s potential to be a prepotent brood cock?
A brood cock or hen is pre-potent of traits that it is pure or heavy with. For example a pure straight comb hen is prepotent for the trait of straight comb because it has no genes for other comb types to pass on to its offspring. A cock that is heavy with genes for speed may be prepotent for speed because there is big chance that it can pass on to it off spring genes for speed.
Well, if you breed the brood cock yourself you will know if the traits it manifested are ingrained in its phenotype, and thus, this brood cock is prepotent of these traits. For example if it manifested speed in sparring, and you have been breeding this particular line for speed over an ample period, then you will know that the speed on the cock was bred into it and not just acquired through some lucky draw of genes.
This is the reason the longer the bloodline is in your hands the more familiar you will become as to its traits. Breeding in your favourite traits into this bloodline year after year, generation after generation, will make the bloodline purer or heavy with these favorite traits.
How do you choose a brood cock?
Selecting a brood cock.
Select first and foremost on the performance of the pedigree and of the individual.
The pedigree must have at least a winning percentage of 85% and must be multi time winners for a number of years if not a decade. Get to know the pedigree and its fighting style. The pedigree is dominant especially when the breeder enters a full show of the pedigree at a derby and grab the championship on quick wins.
Pagpili ng brood cock batay sa performance ng mga anak nito ay magaling na paraan. Ito ay tinatawag na selection based on progeny testing. Mayron ding tinatawag na selection based on pedigree. Binabatay naman natin sa pit performance ng mga ninuno nito.

Hen Hatching eggs How long do hens take to hatch eggs?
What is the hatching period of hen?
20 to 21 days
The incubation period for chicken eggs is 20 to 21 days, and increases up to 30 days for other poultry. After sitting for some days, a broody hen can be given some newly hatched chicks and, if they are accepted, the original eggs can be removed and replaced with more chicks.
Hatching of eggs refers to the production of baby chicks.
What is the hatching process?
Hatching: the chick breaks free of the shell.
How long do hens take to hatch eggs?
It takes 21 days for chicken eggs to hatch, and a brooding hen will sit on the eggs for that entire period. During that time the hen will not lay any more eggs and may become aggressive or defensive of her eggs. When a hen becomes broody, she doesn’t want to do anything but sit on a nest.
#BreedingSeason
How do you select the next generation of game fowl?
The next generation of game fowl can be dictated either by nature or by the current breeding practice set by the breeder. Proper selection is a skill that a breeder needs to master to improve the quality of their game fowl descendants toward the next generations to come.
What is selective breeding for game fowl?
Selective breeding for game fowl is a selection skill mastery. It is the ultimate tool that Master Breeders use to improve every subsequent generation of the game fowl’s desired traits and properties.
What are the two types of cross breeding?
Outcrossing is a type of crossbreeding used within a purebred breed to increase the genetic diversity within the breed, particularly when there is a need to avoid inbreeding. In animal breeding, crossbreeds are crosses within a single species, while hybrids are crosses between different species.

Do chickens lay eggs in rain?
Yes, they do lay eggs even in rainy season. In fact, there doesn't seem to be much of a change in the number of eggs they lay regardless if the day is sunny, rainy, snowy, hot, or cold. The only time it usually drops off is when the chickens are molting.

You need to have a plan and a budget.
Plan your breeding within the limits of your time and budget. As long as you have a pair of good bloodlines of broodcock and broodhen you are set to start. Prepare your yard and have some housing ready for them.
And if you don’t have the materials to start, try to look within your vicinity which your budget can afford. A good budget to start is around ₱1, 000- ₱3, 000. In choosing for the right materials to buy, one must take into consideration the following:
i) Look for winning bloodlines of breeders who have established names in the field
ii) Select a bloodline you wanted to produce
iii) Try to seek the best source of the brood stocks that you need
viii) When you have identified the best source try to get from him the best that he got, even if you have to pay more;
One thing in common among those who became successful in gamefowl breeding is the fact that they all placed considerable investment on their materials used.
Which is best for hatching chicks - an incubator or a broody hen?
Both an incubator and a broody hen have advantages and disadvantages. Which is best depends on what you want, what you have, and what best suits your purpose.

#BreedingMaterials Backyard Game Fowl breeding
Use only one or two breeds at the most.
The first thing to consider when you aim to be a breeder of fine quality gamefowl is to specialize in one or two breeds at the most. This could be done through line breeding, inbreeding, out-crossing, semi-outcrossing and infusion.
i) Line Breeding – is the most common form of maintaining a strain. This is when a cock is bred to his mother, grand-mother or even his great-grandmother
ii) Inbreeding – is the breeding of brother to sister. It is important when you need to accentuate or lock in the good genes or traits of your strain
iii) Out-crossing or Cross Breeding – is when you bring in new blood. The main purpose of out-crossing is to produce battlecocks. These are the ones that you’re going to fight or sell.
Take note that the most commonly used types of breeding is out-crossing or cross breeding because by this you can produce another kind of blood and from here you can choose your preferable types of bloodlines which you will continue to work on.
Remember that as much as possible, always use the youth one's breeding. Breed your proven hen, which is at least a year old, to your young brood cock and vice-versa. By this information, I think you can now start in your backyard gamefowl breeding.
