Hello, I'm new here! I love this website and use it often for advice.
I hatch out eggs(from my 6 hens and 1 rooster) and sell the chicks. I would like to add some chicks back into my flock if its a possibility. Inbreeding is so confusing to me and I see different answers all the time. If I keep a couple chicks, raise them, and put them back in with the rest of my flock (their father- Mr.Big- is in there) and when those chicks grow up and lay eggs and I try and hatch their fertilized eggs, will those chicks be normal? i hope this makes sense.

Father daughter inbreeding is usually successful providing the birds do not have any obvious flaws.
