Suitable pairings

Hello,
I have three zebras: a father and two sons which I'm thinking of putting into a large aviary along with three new females for breeding.

I was wondering if there will be genetic problems if the offspring of these three pairs eventually mate. Or will I need to do some separation down the line to prevent this? Please can someone advise me on this,
thank you so much!

You may need to do some prevention in the future but not other genetics more over fighting now

Thanks,
do you mean that if I put the males in an aviary, even a very large one, with three new females, they will fight over the females? If so, should I put them in different spaces?

I'm just trying to figure out where they should go as I don't have the space, but I've found some other owners who are willing to take them. I also have two females who I'm going to keep. They are all related to each other. Mother, father and three siblings.
Please reply,
thank you.
