  3. Egg production will plummet if your flock is small and allowed to breed uncontrollably among each other. While inbreeding is detrimental, cross-breeding actually enhances production. This is the reason why many commercial layers are usually not one particular line but a diverse mixture of different lineage. "Going hybrid" is the key! It is difficult for small-scale breeders to achieve the results of such hybrid projects since breeding for commercial production is very complex and usually accomplished by experienced specialists with vast funds. However, you can still take tips from the "big farms" and enhance you line's egg productivity.

    There are several good links to cross breeding in chickens.
