No, Chickens can crossbreed between Particular breeds, for instance a Rhode Island red could Fertilize the eggs of a Leghorn or a Marran and the offspring would have the characteristics of each breed. In actual fact the hens that are used in Battery farms are whats known as Highsex... they look similar to a Rhode Island Red but they have been specificly Crossbred and interbred to produce a chicken that is the most prolific layer.

They will try, inter species mating is attempted within avian mixed flocks but they will not result in hybrids in most cases. No duck/chicken has been reported naturally or in breeding farms.

Domestic Fowl x Pheasant hybrids have occurred naturally.

All and any other hybrids have been forced and are not viable stock.

You can only mix breeds that are alike in docility or aggressiveness. For example, there are breeds that are HIGHLY aggressive - such as leghorns, wyandottes, RIRs, most sexlinks, ect. You should never have aggressive birds with docile ones, such cochins, faverolles, sussex, silkies, ect. They will get picked on, and could eventually be killed. They are not allowed to roost, feed, and free-range along with everyone else, and only get last pickings.
