Breeding same colors..

hello everybody, is there a problem if i breed IRN of the same colors?, i ask because i heard that in other species if you cross or breed same colors (mutated colors) could weaken the future birds... does anyone know if this happens with IRN? thanks Felix http://www.flickr.com/photos/40999669@N05/37...
