integrating the chicks

[wfwolfe]

I need to move my chicks (10 weeks old) in with the older chickens. the problem is one is the daughter of the older rooster, the other is a young rooster and one of the hens is his mother. will this cause problems? I am not interested in inbreeding problems, but people have had chickens for years letting them breed and keeping the chicks with the moms and dads. thanks!

Hens will hatch turkey, duck, or guinea eggs and raise the babies. Neither hens nor roosters have a clue which chicks are their biological offspring. Those two will not be treated any differently than any others.
