New chicks questions...

[atira]

I only have one rooster a Mille Fleur Bantam and 2 Buff, 1 Splash, 1 Black, 1 Mille Fleur hen. Question is this...if I keep breeding back my rooster to the chicks and then their chicks chicks...you know...is it inbreeding and dangerous? I know about dogs and cats in breeding but not chickens. The chick in my hand better be a hen...it is the first to hatch and started in the incubator, but I kept loosing eggs half-way through and put this little one under one of my hens who finally went broody. You can see by the wings that it is different...

With chickens you can do in-breeding without problems, but excessive in-breeding can result in handicapped chicks and other problems, so I'd recommend you look for another roo to introduce some new blood after a few generations. Here are some info on the topic:

After a while you'll hatch out another rooster. If this fails, you can get another one. In-breeding is not a problem with chickens though.
