It is a good idea... Start out with mother to son and father to daughter.

Breeding too closely will give you a lot of things. Rolldowns is one; web feet another; funky feathering is another. The key here is the words "too closely".

Milan,
When you say too closely,bro to sis is too closely.Then you could have the defects Nick mentioned pop up.Anything else within a family is ok,daughter to father(from what I've read)is one of the more successful matings.Rolldowns can often occur when you mate 2 hot birds together.

Inbreed and line breed keeps the the blood good and strong line breed is good but becareful not to back your self in a corner when inbreeding like many have done in the past

Milan, Inbreeding or line breeding will not in itself cause problems. It will bring out whatever recessive genes you have--- be they good or bad. It will also concentrate the dominant genes. DB.

kitbox dimensions---4ft wide-4ft high and 3 ft deep so you can reach those birds on the back perch.
