In the Brooder
A lot of people were hating on other breeders that cross their chickens with other breed. Here is my opinion:
As long as you are treating your chickens right (by providing their basic necessities) and breeding to create chickens with distinct characteristics like for more meat, eggs, color, temperment, broodiness, improved immunity or adaptiveness depending on the area then continue on what you are doing (except when their offsprings suffer). I am doing something similar.
After all, all chickens came from selectively breeding jungle fowls and purebreeds like Black Australorp for example were created by using other orpingtongs, langhans, and rhode islands before being acknowledged by American Poultry Association.
