joza2210 Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 Hello , Just a quick question i would like to ask people... Because i am buying hatching eggs of a breeder all the eggs that hatch will be brother and sister ... Would it be ok if you breed brother and sister together ? Thanks Josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 All I know is that up o 5 generations will go back to the same cockeral. So cock then daughter then granddaughter etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 It is always a better idea not to breed from closely related animals. Any tendency towards an abnormality will be magnified. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 I'd get unrelated birds and breed from them Josh... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom123 Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 Breeding such closely related birds isn't a good idea. It can cause deformities in the resulting chicks and can also affect the resulting cockerels fertility. You can breed Father to Daughter and Mother to son without any problems though.
