Noooope. To many unwanted animals. I do not encourage my birds to reproduce. Perhaps in the future if I decide to start breeding properly, I may, but mine are pets, I have enough, I don't know anyone to give them homes. I don't know what I'll do if Pepper and Yoshi have eggs but I will not encourage them. Both are very healthy birds, namely Yoshi who has always had great nutrition, both have good genes, but as it currently is, I'd never encourage chicks. I'm too involved in rescues and helping birds off sale sites, I know there's too many uneducated people out there, too many homeless animals.
That said, I don't mind people who decide to become breeders. As long as they do it properly and raise good, balanced babies. You don't do it half-heartedly, it shouldn't be an unexpected thing. The second I considered bringing Pepper, a DNA hen, home, to be friends with Yoshi, my DNA cock, I read up on handraising, hatching, common health issues for parents and babies. I know where to get all the supplies needed if the situation arose regardless of preventative measures. Maybe I'm being over-cautious but I've seen some horrific problems, deformities and health issues - among them commonly is death for parents or chicks.
