Hey all, I’ll be honest I’ve tried to read up on cross breeding, line breeding, inbreeding etc, but the family tree thing is a little confusing to me what I’m gathering is brother sister is suspect, father/daughter and mother/son (line breeding) is ok. I’ll try to explain my situation and see if y’all have any insight.
I have bluebell, barred rock, RIR, and sapphire gem hens
I have just added a welsummer rooster no relation whatsoever.
I’m incubating the bluebells for olive eggers/green egg layers as well as some barred rocks for Some sex linked birds
Now when this first hatch is done should I just keep hens? So the only option would be linebreeding later on?
I had thought about keeping maybe one rooster to have a second rooster. Would keeping a rooster from this hatch cause potential problems down the road
If he grows up to start doing his sister can things get weird??
