We're Sorry - Scientific American
This article describes how researchers using chicken embryos accidentaly discovered (in a mutant embryo that didn't hatch) small teeth similar to those of an aligator. The teeth are homologus to baby aligator teeth.
This mutation is due to an 80-million year old reptile gene (found in living reptiles as well). The question is, why would a chicken have this gene?
How could this be possible from a creationist perspective?
I would imagine chickens are part of the bird 'kind', so why does it have the genes for teeth of the reptile 'kind'?

Could you give some indication of where your quote came from?
I would prefer it if you radically reduced the size of your quote and described the findings more in your own words.

Thanks for that. Could you re-edit it so it looks more like a new OP rather than part of an ongoing discussion, then it should be good to go.
TTFN,
