Incest breeding

Incest breeding2007-11-24 17:23:12

I have an old english game rooster who is the parent of one of the pullets. He has mated with one of his offsprings and that chicken is now laying fertile eggs. If these eggs are hatched would the resulting chicks be more prone to genetic defects? Is the father mating with his offspring as bad as two siblings mating with each other? What are the effects of inbreeding for chickens?

Answers:

Most of the breeds of animals humans have created where made by incest, aka Line breeding. Breeders look for a specific trait in an animal, color, size ect and will breed that animal into a family member to see if the trait sticks. As long as the inbreeding doesn't happen too often then there is no worries. I know this all from breeding dogs, but I'm sure it applys to all animals. Also if the male and female are free from any defects the offspring should be fine, I do however suggest seperating them. I feel like chicken tonight anyone eles??


Bad Eggs (a yoke)
nothing its normal
pretty soon the yolk and egg white will run together and their insides will be just a pale yellow througout. Which would make for some good scrambled eggs, you wouldn't even have to scramble them. Sign me up for a dozen.
inbreeding in chickens? You certainly weren't raised on a farm. No it doesn't matter
LOL cute, Harley.
