Can you Breed Your own Commercial Chicks at Home? | What is Parent Stock? 

You're simply good. Genetics unfolded. Dr. You will be a good lecturer. Dude, you have unlimited potentials. Let it shine.

Daniel, You have a great drive for farming, I think you made a great choice to go into farming! After 30 yrs of being in practice, I'm burnt out.

I am not into chickens that much; however, I still listen because you are a very good teacher! Happy farming, Dr Daniel!

You always come with this little gems of knowledge thanks Daniel 👍🏾

I've learnt a lot from you honestly I was about thinking of having a parent stock to start hatching my own broiler because of costly broiler here but when I listened to you considering factors to put into construction I relax a bit but noiler hatching is a go for me

I admire you for attempting to explain this topic without diagrams and in a way that will be understood by people without any grounding in genetics. Kudos Doc!!!

Backcrossing F1 with F0 in a diallel cross (in a large population) also with mass selection for specific phenotypic traits is the best method for concentrating the bloodline of the parentstock. The iteration procedure may take additional 3 to 5 filial generation to establish a genotype that breeds true to it kind. This is a factual Thesis work that requires great knowledge in PCR, microsatellite DNA, genetic tools.... etc to re-invent the wheel.

Very brilliantly explained Dr. Please consider part time lecturing too even if it is online. You are a good teacher

DOC, you are right ! it takes a lot of time , money, and resources to get a breed of animal to fit your expectations, great video as always keep up the good work DOC

You're clearly "dumbing down" from your knowledge for the RU-vid community, but it's so refreshing to see a knowledgeable guy from Uganda posting :-)

Good morning ☀️🐣🐣🐣 I love watching you, I love learning from you! Your accent keeps me coming back 🤣 😇🐣 I don’t even eat meat. Lol 😂

Very good lesson on Parent Stock, waiting to see the arrival of the Birds.

Am Always Inspired By Your Knowledge, Keep it up Daniel ✨

Ive learn alot thanks the information that you shared. GOD bless Dr Dan.

I'm new to bird farming. And I'm really excited about finding out about this channel.

Very Informative Dr Daniel

Dr thanks for the lesson , absolutely f1 generation perform better,that's why you find breeders selling f1to customers coz beyond that brings back the original traits from either parents.But Dr your content is just toooo good🙏🙏

Good explanation when next I visit my mum in the village l will ask her to observe the local chicken progress

Great insight. Following from Zambia.

I love your teaching, cuz I want to start up a commercial poutry

Good morning Doc I am not a farmer but I love ❤️ listening to you. Also I have learned many things from you. 🇧🇧🇻🇮

8:45 🤣🤣🤣 what 😳 is that 🤔 😳 😄

Thanks Dan . U are teaching us alot.

Dr Darnial, What ever happened to the chicks you brought in a few months back? have they started laying yet? Can you please do an update video? Thanks!

Which company did you use to ship your parental stock

I always wanted about know this and I approve of this information from Dr Daniel ❤️🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲

Thank you for the lesson Daniel, that makes perfect sense. I bought my Parent Stock as eggs from all over the country and hoping they are all not related but time will tell but I bought my turkey & ducks Live. BTW, back when you made that BSF video i told you I was going to try it and well.. my larvae arrived yesterday and my mealworm stock will arrive this week so I am finally doing it now that it's getting warm here. I was just looking over that video again yesterday to make sure I was setting things up right lol. Always happy to wake up to your videos on Sunday mornings :)

Until about the 1940s or 1950s broiler chickens were almost exclusively white rocks. The current commercial broilers are a 4 way cross with a minority being a 2 way cross. This is mostly because of the time it takes to grow them being less (5 or 6 weeks versus 12-16 weeks), feed conversions being better, and carcass quality improvements (more breast meat). The downsides are 1) taste quality suffers, 2) mortality increases (video mentions a few of these reasons), and raising them is more labor intensive, and AI having to predominantly be used becausetheparentstockare to big to breed naturally. I still use white rocks, or sometimes white rock x white jersey giants, with roosters chosen by focusing on those with the best muscling in the breast. Pasture raised so feed conversions are less important.

Always a wealth of information.

I have experimented and have to agree and disagree on some of the things you said. I had broiler few in my farm and deliberately decided to leave them to see what they will be after 6 months they started laying egg and to my surprise the egg hatched and I got broiler chicks . Yes broilers are made for meat but if you want to leave them as breeders you should not feed them like the ones you want to slaughter at 6-8 weeks, from fifth week move to grower feed and heir feeds should not always be available with this they will not grow too much that will lead to cardiac death.

there is a problem with just replacing the roster! I have some of the expensive ones! seramas and silkies it's not to easy to just get a new roo when they cost 100$ a pop! 😭 but I do get to barrow a friends serama roo every now and then. 🥰

You are good and you know well of what you are talking about

This was a great video very informative.

Brilliant !! Thanks Dr Daniel.

Please I need a chart or format that we show me day by day step from day one to vaccination till laying point

Daniel so how are broiler breeders fed in terms of feed quantity to avoid them from over growing to reach 22 weeks which is around the time they start laying . Please can we have a full length video lf u can. Explaining about Broiler parent stock breeding. Usually these broilers die b4 they reach breeding period .How can we avoid this?.

# knowledge /understanding and wisdom thank you Dr Daniel

Thank u doc for this video. I love the information

Hello Dr Daniel how do you source your broiler breeders and what are the specificities

In breeding, you have to consider sixlink too ( been able to separate them when they are day old)

thanks this video got me a bit lost Dr , so should i start out what breed is your where do i get the proper males and females, what have question do you ask the farmers you buy parent stock from to ensure its the F0 i think you said in order to get proper F1 and what breed of chicken's is your dark brown broiler males and females pls make a video to simply how a person that knows nothing about chickens makes this 1st step successfully

you said f1 is the combination of parents stock good characteristic is obtain so if i breed f1 from rode island red from my farm to f1 of rode island breed of other farm and the ofspring from both f1 what do they call? can this i1 be good breeder???

Very information ,to you Doc i want to harsh the broiler chick in home ,which eggs can i used to make broiler chick,and also if I dont have wooden shave can i used what to make a mattress for egg.

Hi Daniel... Thank you such information. Where do you get such information? , I've just started farming with broilers and I'm interested in parent stock research. Please share if you can

Thnx dr it's amazing been trying to do so

Good day my brother I been witnessing your videos for a while including how you started and I wand to start my own poultry farm can you please help me in the name of God to get chick to start with? Am not asking you for money but chick am in liberia I already have a large land

Tweyanzizza nnyo era wangaala!!!

This is great sir, am from Zambia I need some parent stock for white broilers and brown layers

Hi Doc, I love watching your videos I have always wanted to start broilers parents stock, how can I get them or start breading them here in Nigeria, thanks 😊

You breed birds based on your location, disease tolerances, for meat birds you may want a breed to grows relatively fast and puts on heavy weight, also look at feed. For layers birds, you want high egg laying count. And long life. Etc.. I can help you with info and research fam. 🙏🏾

Love from India🇮🇳
