I have 3 chicks that I raised from 1 week old. 1 turned out to be a roo-- the other 2 are hens. My question is can I breed them as they are technically brother and sister? I know this shouldn't be done with some animals just wondering about chickens.
 
I did it and it didn't make a problem

Thanks I was hoping I could because I like the look of them and think they would make some cute babies.
 
Ya know I haven't actually bought a rooster in several years. use to every 3 years buy or trade roosters with someone else to get fresh genetics in my flock. But the last rooster got old, and there was a beautiful white rooster that was hatched from my hens. He is now with all the hens is old enough to fertilize eggs, and later this summer i plan to try to hatch chicks from him.
I did however add 3 more adult hens that are unrelated.
