    Do chickens have inbreeding deformaties?

    Will chickens born from Father/daughter or Son/mother combinations have birth defects, not hatch, or not be good eggs to eat?

    Funny Chicken Names

    When I got chickens a couple years ago, the children of the breeder named a lilac orpington Oprah Winfrey so I named all the chickens after news or talk show hosts. I had Katie (Couric) Ellen (Degeneres), Rosie (O'Donnell), Barbara (Walters), etc.

    Funny Chicken Names

    The last group of chickens I got were named after female talk show or news show personalities. The son's of the woman who sold me the chickens named the smallest one Oprah so I named the others Barbara (Walters), Katie (Couric) and Ellen (De Generes).
