Personally, I have no qualms about breeding mutts for my own use. I can understand preserving a breed, too, but if you have a rooster you like, and some hens of a different breed that you like, go for it. I wouldn't sell mutts if I bred them, though. Just keep them for myself.
PS - jvls, thank you for sharing your hatching wisdom! Someday I want to replace my little styrofoam incubator. Lost the one I had in a fire. I love watching chicks hatch! I've been known to sit up all night watching them...
