Sorry for jumping in, I don't see much wrong with agreeing or disagreeing
with a statement made by who ever. After all we live in a democratic society
where difference of opinion is not just fine but rather welcome. However,
for the life of me, I fail to comprehend some people luck of understanding
the difference between BREED and STRAIN.. The differences are between the
strains, and they are more pheno type than anything else, but the geno type
is still very much the same at the breed level.

Because the breed isn't a bunch of clones, but rather every bird with its
own genetic code which is heterozygous by nature with a dominant or
recessive gene for desired traits one looks for in his own ideal strain.
Two or three breeders starting from the same strain, in twenty years there
are bound to be some differences, however small, but nevertheless
different.
