Don't worry. It's a cross between two official breeds.​

Official as in APA? I have some Red Star/ Golden Laced Polish mixes, but not sure you'd consider a Red Star and official breed.

Ok, so this would be a rule: If it has a name (like "Red Star"), it counts as a breed. If it's called a _____ and _______ cross or something like that, it's a hybrid

Heres' mine. She is a spalding peahen. She is a hybrid of a blue peacock (pavo cristatus) and a green peacock (pavo muticus)

A hybrid is a cross between 2 different species. It is not the same as a mixed breed, which would be the same species.




Maybe you could be talking about mixed breeds. I do not think of them as hybrids, but maybe it depends of the definition you read.

Here's my cross breed. She's a BOxSilkie X EE:

Not the best pics, sorry. She has a crest, small beard and muffs, feathered and very green legs

Her name is Dipstick
