Will inbreeding be a problem for me?

If breeding brother to sister, you have to know if the parents were closely related. If you got your chicks from a hatchery it is doubtful they are siblings because they are hatched in such great numbers.

I hatched my chicks not from a breeder, but from my hens eggs.
I doubt I have any related chickens that had babies.

All 30 of my birds came from a single breeding pair of Coturnix quail. Circumstances, not planning, led to that.

Not including the breeding pair, my birds range in age from about 12 weeks to two days old.

If I stop and think about it, all of my birds are "siblings," even though they were hatched at different times. Would that be correct, since they all came from a single breeding pair?

And with that being said (and presumably correct), there is no combination of birds I could put together for breeding purposes, and them not be considered inbred. Would that also be correct?
