In part 2 of Mike’s interview with Jim Adkins of the Sustainable Poultry Network, we talk about:

• The need to always selectively breed
• A spiral mating system using two groups of breeders
• Linebreeding is the best way to produce good poultry, but there are some things to avoid
• Farming with modern commercial (hybrid) birds alongside standard-bred birds
• “We’re blazing a new trail the old way, and it’s gonna take some time,” says Jim
• Marketing the standard-bred and heritage birds
