Title: inter breeding

I know this may sound a lil stupid but does it matter if a brother n sister have babies in ducks n chickens or do they have health problems n growth stunts n stuff

IMHO I would imagine that as long as both are healthy and carry no deformaties then you would probably get away with it, your problems may start if breeding then carries on between parent, siblings, grand parents etc.

But wait till Muntjac or someone with more experience replies
