I'm not sure how seriously to take people's chicken/egg arguments, but
here goes:  This business about chickens mutating from protochickens in
a single generation is nonsense.  Thus there was never any problem
about who to breed with.  "Proto-chickens" evolved gradually into
chickens, with the result that after a large number of generations, the
resulting individuals would no longer be able to breed with their
remote ancestors (assuming they were still around).
