i see how you might start out with breeding BPs that are not too expensive, just to get the routine down and to gain experience.

but you need to treat every BP with respect and treat it properly. you need to aim for perfect results right from the start.

still, there is a case for trying out before you get into truly expensive stuff. big breeders differentiate between good female breeders that produce 7 big eggs, and good female breeders that produce 11 small eggs.

"trying out" can mean both: wild experiments, or just figuring out how a certain female performs. thats another advantage that the really big breeders have: when they drop tens of thousands on a male that has a certain completely new gene/morph, they can pair it up with females that reliably produce a large number of small eggs. trying out different husbandry methods and playing around with husbandry conditions seems questionable to me, because all that is already established.
