Re: Breeding

So that would mean any line, once removed, could be brought back to the
original father without negative effects? (i.e., they could mate with
grandchildren?

Thought that you might find this interesting:
In 1978 Compton et al. found that sperm is stratified by genotype
within the hen's sperm host glands & remains stratified over time
witthin a gland. The glndd empties by sustained superficial leakage
over time.
The significance being that they demostrated that the sperm from the
last insemination or mating were the first sperm cells to be released
for the purposes of fertilization.
