Hi, I was just wondering if putting brother over sister is an absolute no?

Just asking because I have six Speckled Sussex girls from three different lines, three are from the same line as the cockerels I have. One of the pullets from...
Just wondering which girls I should use for breeding.
^ Pullet 1
^ Pullet 2
I'm guessing she may have too much black?
^ Pullet 3
I'll hopefully also have at least 4 other pullets to choose from also/

That's him, Mr Noodle.
Totally wrong coloured skin and no feathers on his feet.
I have some pure Silkie hens and since they were his size, he bred with them (he still liked to try with the larger...
Went to an auction today.....
I bought an Araucana cross rooster (araucana x polish, I think), a random mutt hen (very pretty), a silkie cross hen (five toes and a bit of a feathery crest) and an isa brown hen (lovely markings).
I realllllyyy had to restrain myself from getting more xD...
I found her in the water bucket almost dead. She's about 7-8 weeks old.
I've dried her off with a hair dryer and have her sitting on a hot water bottle next to me.
She's twisting her head from side to side but cheeps when I make clucking noises to her.

Fairly tame. She even flew up onto mine and my dad's shoulder once xD

Getting three two week old light Brahma chicks, two ten week old (1 grey, 1 white) Polish x Auracana chicks and two four week old Araucana bantam chicks...
I'm so excited...
I currently have five standard layer hens (got them from a farm), one standard rooster and one silkie X hen.

Got this hen and her three (very tasty) brothers from a friend about a year and a half ago. Just wondering what breeds she might be.
I'm thinking Silkie X...
