I see a lot of “what breed is this?” posts. This is my first year keeping chickens. I don’t have a rooster and do not plan on breeding. But seeing so many of these posts and so many “adopted” chicks coming from another chicken keeper and not knowing breed, or breeding, backstories has made me curious: can chickens eventually just be “mutts”? Like overbred/crossbred dogs & cats? A random rooster mates with a different breed hen, then that crossbred offspring breeds with another mash-up and so on? After a few generations you just end up with “Heinz 57” chickens?
