keeping babies with father

[elongoalie2002]

I have just hatched my first two, change that to four chicks of several more to hopefully come. I have done this the way nature intended by letting my hens sit on the eggs. I am planning on keeping a few of the chicks if they turn out to be hens. My question is as they get to the reporductive age if I let them lay fertilized eggs will there be any issues if I keep my current rooster (their father) and he is the fertilizer for the eggs that I may hatch later on?

Looked up 'can chickens get inbred' and this thread popped up ~

From what I've heard you can breed daughter to father ( like you are suggesting) but not brother to sister. But i am in no way an expert

Quote: How closely related to the rooster is the mother of the chicks? Same flock? same farm/breeder/hatchery; same parents; 1/2 bro to 1/2 sis?
What quality of birds do you have? Hatchery, top show quality, pet, or?
Thanks,
