Yeah I admit it's not really inbreeding if I used a WC female and still get kinks. But could this male have been inbred so badly before hand that he has a very strong propensity for kinked babies? Is it geneticly passed down? I used this same male 2 years and both years gave me kinked babies. Not only one or two but the majority were kinked. I bred two of his best offspring and they had kinked offspring! So a total of 3 years using this "line" produces kinked babies. I didn't record the data but I only got one or two babies that were not kinked at all. The eggs were incubated along with all my other eggs and some in the same box. So if it were a temp problem it should have affected my other eggs, but did not.
