What am I doing wrong???

[Yocelinsaldana06]

I don’t hatch but I have been reading a little on breeding since I am getting a rooster soon so this sticks out to me: when you say you have been hatching from these pens for years now do you mean you have kept a closed flock? Or have you introduced new genetics from time to time?

Yes, I watch closely and make sure I don’t inbreed. for example, I bred my black silkie rooster with a white hen and once I got chicks from them, i added their daughters to the flock but removed the rooster and replaced him with a new one who isn’t related to any of them. I’m very strict on inbreeding and rarely ever do it
