Hi, I was given some eggs a couple of years ago that I put under a broody hen and she hatched. Out of that I got a Cochin hen and rooster. I keep them together and away from all other chickens because I want their chicks to be pure cochin. I now have multiple cochin hens and roosters....want to get rid of roosters but can't bring myself to eat them....which I love having. My question is this, is it ok to breed the hens to their father or brothers? I'm a little worried about too much inbreeding. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Donna
