Small population diversity question

[FVRM]

Let's say I have 2 males and 1 female and they are all siblings, would i be able to mate one male and the female and breed their offsprings to the other male without any consequences? And for how long? Also what kind of consequences could there be?

Hi! It depends on how closely related the birds are behind your siblings.
Do you have ay kind of pedigree on them?
Can the breeder give you one?
Are they from a breeder or a hatchery?
What breed are they?
How small is the gene pool of the strain/breed with which you are working? Need this info to proceed.

They are from a breeder. They are wheaten ameracauna, only 3 birds, two males one female.
