Breeding Roos and Hens...

[Free Rrange Farmer]

I didn't know what forum to put this in but...
If you have a rooster and a hen they have chicks then that same rooster mates with one of the new baby hens once it is old enough.
Would those babies be 'special'?
Is it okay to do that with your flock?

What does "special" mean?

Oh! Sorry. Yes, it can, but not likely for at least another generation.
