Chicken Breed Focus - Colloncas

Pics
Hi Yashar, My name is Jenny, I live in New Zealand where there are none of the rumpless chicken breedsat all they were never inported here and no more stock is aloud into the ciuntry. I have two great Roosters one is a beautiful Duckwing and I have managed to get a thro-back Rooster from our stock of New Zealand Araucana ( which is similar to what other countries call an Americana) that has no tail at all. So I am trying to line breed him. I am only just learning about the genetics of chickens and want to learn as much as I can to ensure I dont make too many mistakes. I have managed to get to a second generation line bred offspring, but am struggling to know where to go from here as out of 9 chicks ( 5 roos - 4 hens only two have less tail feathers). The information I am getting from the internet for line breeding does not seem to be consistent. In that some say do not line breed past grandaughter to original rooster yet others say its ok. I do not want to create faulty chickens , so would verymuch apreciate your advice. kind regards Jenny
