    Inbreeding cats

    Sup yall, I have two unneutered/unspayed cats. Wesley and Maisy. We want to let them mate to have kittens next year, but we were wondering if it’s safe because they are related. They have the same dad, but different moms. Is it as risky as purely inbreeding true siblings cats? I heard that...

    In Breeding

    I'm wondering, since I'm getting Ducklings from a local breeder, and I want pure bred Harlequins, should I be concerned with breeding siblings? My thought is that even if I were to swap Drakes with someone else in the area, that they would still be from the same bloodlines. What are the...

    At what point could inbreeding become an issue?

My question is: at what point does genetic weakness start to come in for inbreeding? If it’s an issue I can just separate them now and give the hen another...

    Really odd feathers. Is it genetic or a health issue?

    My buff laced brahma cockerel is almost 5 months old and has some odd feathers. I'm not sure why, maybe it's genetic (inbreeding or note purebred?) maybe it's a health issue, tried looking through old posts and couldn't find anything like this. A little history on him. I got him and his...

    Inbred quail?

    I've seen a lot of recent posts about people having aggressive quail that attack each other for no apparent reason (ie not males attacking males for dominance). I've had quite a few aggressive jumbo quail myself and one of my males recently pecked out a female's eye. As soon as I found the...
