Agreed with all of the above. You don't want to breed siblings.

There would be a high incidence of DIS and infertile eggs.

The birds would have a very high chance of being deformed and sickly.

For those that survive, there's a good chance they may be condemned to a life of poor health and suffering.

Not advised.
