I have been inbreeding and line-breeding my birds for going on 10 years, could you tell me when I should expect the, "deformed chickens"?

What do you mean by "better" ? If everyone only did crossbreeding then there wouldnt be any breeds to cross. Inbreeding does not mean deformed chicks, inbreeding can fix good traits into a line as well as fixing undesirable traits. The key is selection.

Ryan,
You are correct. I have seen lots of improvement on your knowledge of poultry. Keep up the good work!
