Are chicken hybrids real

Most hybrids are sterile (or have such a poor fertility rate they might as well be!). The crossses aren’t very productive either, of a study crossing silver coturnix quail with a certain colored chicken, of about 500 fertile eggs produced they hatched 2 live chicks. I would assume things like the geep (goat sheep) and liger (lion tiger) are similar: rare but possible. The mule is a fairly common beastie (though sterile) so probably a much closer and compatible cross.
 
Really not long. Most of the time. They just end up being a genetic mess covered with feathers. Occasionally they live longish. My Guicken was 5 when she passed
