I am getting chicks from my neiboor soon! I just need a unreladed hen and rooster

They don't absolutely have to be unrelated.
I frequently inbreed and line breed with little ill effect, remember, it can increase desired traits as well as bad. I don't baby my chicks, the weak get culled so I develop stronger stock.

I accidentally got albinos from mating a father to daughter. It's the bird in my avatar. (Well, that's one of four).

Just thought I'd share some new pics. One of the hens went broody and I let her have 12 eggs. These are the results.
9 adorable little "mutts".
We had issues with raccoons, and lost our beautiful white silkie roo, Elvis, and the black silkie hen, Penny. Our frizzle, Lucy, adopted the chicks.
