How do you cross breed chickens to get a pure breed?

It is a long process and can take years. You need to have a plan detailing those traits you wish to attain or remove from you breeding stock. Begin with the best birds that you can get. It's easier to start with quality chickens than to breed unwanted traits out of a poor quality grandparent flock of birds. Keep accurate records to control mating. Identify and mark the best of the birds with the qualities desired. Never keep chickens with unwanted traits, cull or separate those without those desired traits.


Can a Campbell duck and a muscovy duck cross breed?

A Campbell is a mallard derivative so yes it can cross with a muscovy. All wild mallards and domestic mallard derivatives can cross with any Muscovy Duck. However the offspring will be sterile (except extremely rare cases). Muscovy drake on mallard hen generates mullards which are fast-growing birds bred for meat. There are large industrial concerns that do this.


Why might a goegraphic barrier such as a large river cause the formation of a new species of small rodents but not a new species of birds?

It might also be instrumental in the evolution of a new species of bird. With birds, however, the impact of such a barrier will usually be much smaller, as birds can more easily cross such barriers and therefore maintain a high interbreeding frequency. The decline of interbreeding frequency is what causes subpopulations to diverge, sometimes culminating in speciation.
