Dinosaurian Chickens

[Beekissed]

Okay at this point I'm sure we all know that chickens were descendants of dinosaurs

Actually.....we don't KNOW this. Evolution is still just a theory and it was refuted by its theorist before he died. The very reason you don't see dinosaur/chickens in mid-evolutionary cycle.

I do NOT want a chicken with teeth. The roo's can do enough damage with their beak alone~!

I would have to agree! Although, they would come in handy for predator situations!

You have too much time on your hands.

Hmmm, whenever I look at my African Geese, I do think Velociraptor.

Maybe I've just seen Jurassic Park one too many times, but sometimes it seems like I'm raising a whole gaggle of little dinosaurs.

You could make a very large pot of chicken noodle soup just with that neck alone!

I know. I want some so badly but hubby keeps telling me no. Sighs. He seems to think they will only like ME and that HE alone will be attacked, LOL

He's bigger now, not even a year old yet. I took that picture back in the spring.

Back to the original question...

They're doing it by signialing the genes that make teeth and tails on in the earliest stages of development, not exactly stuff we'd have in the barn. You can in theory breed throwbacks, but you would have to cull and select pretty drastically. The key issue is that the enviroment has changed enough to bring the changes, and unless you have a weather machine handy...

Is it possiable with a lab and funding? sure throw enough cash at it and most things are possiable. Is it feasable for a backyard breeder? I doubt it, but how much do you wanna spend to make it happen?
