what exactly is a barnyard cross?

[MrViskers]

is it like a chicken with dozens of breed in its heritage and shows physical characteristics as the breed in its lineage?

It's just a nice way of calling it a mutt.

well, barnyard: some eggs (in most cases) that are anything and everything then you can put in your bator and you get a mix... barnyard cross, well the the same as stoopid said...

Barnyard crosses don't need to be such a mutt that even an experienced person can't tell the parentage, they're just a cross of whatever. Even a first generation cross of, say, Cochin x Sebright, can be a "barnyard mutt," because they are essentially a mutt.

That would be a mixture of two or more breeds or strains.
