Can you breed a roo & hen that may have come from the same parents? Not sure how to phrase that.

If you have hatchery birds it is highly unlikely that they are related.

Wouldn't that be inbreeding? I don't do any breeding, but I wouldn't.

It is called line breeding, and it is a widely accepted practice, designed to ensure no inbreeding types of offspring occur. You likely have some that were line bred somewhere in their lineage.
