Is it ok breeding cockorel with his Mom, aunties and sisters ..am planning to keep young boys just curious will this do something bad in genetic of future offsprings?
 
Inbreeding is often used. The drawback is any slight genetic defect (and all chickens have them-as does all life-probably) is magnified and can become a serious genetic problem. Most notably, brother sister pairings should be avoided as they are most likely to have similar genetic makeup. I use inbreeding at times, but try to avoid it whenever possible or introduce new genetics whenever I can.
 
So should I try breed brother with sister's or not?
In a nutshell - no.
If they are perfect in every way, one may try it but normally, it will accentuate flaws.
A full brother and sister pairing will essentially have identical genetics. If there is a flaw, it could be fatal to the embryos since the flaws will be multiplied. It can also suppress vigor.

And there is no way to know if they're perfect in every way. NO! It just isn't worth it. The possible results are not something you want to deal with. Use son to mother and aunts. Is there a reason for not wanting to replace the young cockerel with an unrelated bird?
 
Problem is i live on Mediterranean - Croatia and I have red rengers I buy eggs by accident while visiting France, incubate them and have 3 beutifull big hens that lay so good and are good for meat, probelm is in coratia o can't buy this breed...I cross red rangers hens with Nacked neck ROOSTER now I want continue that red ranger lines and improve more meaty body with having HAlf red renger rooster corossed with full red ranger hen.. uh I wrote a novel 😂😂😬
 
So far my Pheonix flock is related really badly. My eggs incubating have my male as their dad, grandpa and probably great grandpa.

Honestly as long as you don't let bad ones, like obvious defects, breed as well you're probably good to go
