yes that makes some since to me. But how early is early tho??? I have a few little ones upstairs that have HUGE featherd feet...but the rest just have normal feathers on their feet. So should i stick to my original breeding hen's when the young grow up?? Or would it be ok to take the ones who grow up "that i keep because of good traits" and breed them back to their daddy? I know inbreeding is "ok" with chickens but it just doesn't sit well with me. I just think that the next generation that hatches will just be "watered down" and good traits will be few and far between in the offspring.

Do what you think is best,...when you are trying new things, you have to do just that...try new things. Or, breed them back to him, get a set of hatchlings, and then breed with another male, and compare the two sets of hatchlings to see if you have quality differences...worth a shot!
