I bought 7 day old chicks and now the hens among them are just starting to lay their first eggs. It ended up I had 4 roosters and 3 hens out of the chicks, I have sold all but one rooster and am keeping the three hens for laying, is it possible for the rooster and the hens to in-breed if they are left together? Can in-breeding in poultry occur?? What are the problems associated with in-breeding?
any advice much apperciated.
thanks,
Claire
