Chick speaking inside egg, how long to hatch ?

Chickens are different from mammals in that you can cross relatives to each other, without problems. Here's a discussion in it:

Not true at all. LIne breeding happens with birds all the time, and with mammals a lot more than you'd think. The offspring will only be as good as the parent stock, though. Line breeding is to magnify desirable traits, but it also magnifies poor traits.

well i am not an expert at inbreeding and i dont think inbreeding happins to mammels a lot becouse every mammel i dont no about birds have faults and a family member has got the same faults so when a family member has a baby with another family member the faults arnt covered and the old faults are still there and new faults come so they have double the amounts of faults so proble when they crosslined the dogs they did it unperpose to create a small dog

My pullets are second generation from parents from the same hatch and one has a crossed beak. In looking it up I came across quite a few references to this being from breeding related birds so it is possible by the sound of it to have problems with inbreeding.

When we were kids our guinea pigs were impossible to get out quick enough they didn't get mum pregnant and we ended up with some pretty bad in bred babies some who died some couldn't walk properly and one just had a real big head. So its in mammals too.
