Chickens are descended from Dinosaurs? Really. I'm not kidding about this. And guess WHICH dinosaur scientists believe have the closest genetic connection?
The Tyrannosaurus Rex
Really. I have mini T. Rex's running around in my backyard. Really - and I have proof:
Doesn't she sound like a dinosaur? That's T. Rex 1 and 2 in my coop.
She's broody. She thinks she's going to hatch some eggs, except there aren't any eggs under her, and if there were they wouldn't be fertile right now because my neighbor's dog killed my big beautiful Ancona rooster. His replacement is only 7 weeks old.

I did know that chickens were descendants from the T-Rex!! I read it in one of my son's story books. Oh the things you learn reading bedtime stories!!
Girl, those DO sound like dinosaurs!! LOL!! I am scared of chickens. I don't like their feet. I would love to have some but, I am not sure I could ever get that close to them. And I think those two hens would scare the dickens out of me!! Hee hee!!
