I tell ya, all dinosaurs were just gigantic chickens. This confirms my theroy.

Yes, and our chickens are really just tiny dinosaurs!

Including the bratty Polish roo who just tried to flog my hands encased in hot pink gloves. Gloves could eat him, you know.

Article says "The color pattern of Anchiornis is reminiscent of living birds. A breed of chickens called Silver Spangled Hamburgs, for example, has white, black-tipped wing feathers. Dr. Prum speculated that studying these chickens might allow scientists to determine the specific mutations that gave rise to Anchiornis’s plumage."



Cool!!!

Guineas look like dinosaurs more than anything. LOL

Where can I get hatching eggs?

AK Michelle- I've got some eggs!!! Swap you some for a few T. Rex eggs (could work out a deal if you have started babies, too).
