A purebred chicken with white feathers is crossed with a purebred chicken that has black feathers. each of their offspring has both black and white feathers. why does this happen?

Well, if you take two purebred chickens,and bread them with with each other, the offspring is no longer going to be purebred, so the feathers they have will be a mix of the purebreds.
