there are more than one reason to not breed an 18 month old FEMALE corn. an 18 month male corn is not a problem because they do not have to go through the stress of making eggs, laying them. Female corns, like anything that reproduces, has a lot of stress put on their bodies. Egg binding is one of the issues to breeding too young, infirtle eggs, causing a stunt in the growth is another.
In my opinion, breeding an 18 month old female corn is like breeding a 10 year old child. Yeah, they can do it, but its not healthy.
