I'm planning on hatching my own eggs this year, and I'd like to incubate the eggs of my two Sebright/OEGB crosses. I just moved my rooster to their coop (it only contains the Sebright crosses and a senior Buff Orpington) today and he's doing great with them. My two bantams I want to breed are very wary of him but I'm introducing him early so they have time to warm up to him (also because one of the girls is broody and I want her to be laying eggs once she's used to the roo's company). My rooster is very polite with the ladies and I've successfully bred eight chicks with him before (six turned out to be roosters, but oh well they were fun to have
).
One problem: the rooster is these two girls' father. Would breeding father to daughter cause any health issues in the offspring? I'd like to ask before I consider incubating.
Thank you so much in advance!!!
