I have to talk POLISH!

Pics of my red crested red polish hen and a cockerel and pullet from mating her to a buff laced polish rooster.
​

Hmmm so is the red color the base for buff? Like a palomino is a sorrel/Chesnut horse with a cream gene?

Is the RC Red Polish the mother of the Buff Laced cockeral and the Buff Laced hen?

Sorry I have very limited knowledge of genetics.

The red crested red polish pictured was mated to a buff laced polish rooster and the pictured cockerel and pullet were the result of that crossing.I am considering breeding both the cockerel and pullet to each other to see if I can get some white laced reds.Breed the cockerel back to the red crested red polish hen and see what I get.Maybe even breed them to gold laced polish.

Can you breed brother and sister or do you get some weak stuff with 15 toes and 2 beaks hatching?

Line breeding is son to mother - what's sister to brother?

son to mother and brother to sister is inbreeding.

Linebreeding is taking a niece to an uncle or nephew to a aunt. In other words one of the same line (as in parent line).

Don't claim to be a genetics whiz,but from what I have read it can be done and most people who do crosses will do brother/sister mating to see what is hidden genetically.

It can bring out the faults also.I'm wish I could give a more knowledgeable answer.I would not do it if the original hen and original rooster were from related lines.

I'm going to do a half brother sister mating this spring. I'll see if it brings out anything bad.
I too wished I were more knowledgeable on genetics.
