Depending on how it's done, it can be referred to as "line-breeding".
It is very common, and IF done correctly, can be beneficial to your flock. I also think occasional "out-crossing" is recommended in order to preserve the "vigor" of your flock.
I'm CERTAINLY no "expert". This is purely from what I've read.
There is MUCH information regarding this subject on the other forum here about Breeding, Genetics, etc. You might take a look at some of those posting subjects OR do a search for "line-breeding".
